The United States of Pre-war America is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Al Good with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 13.448 billion Americans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 41.5%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 2,682 trillion Libertycoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 199,440 Libertycoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Al Good reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, claims adjusters are uselessly vague, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime is totally unknown. Pre-war America's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pre-war America is ranked 100,003^rd in the world and 2,344^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,827.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
