The United States of The 251 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Brooks Childress with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 3.664 billion 251ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Robertsville. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient 251ian economy, worth 773 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 211,070 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A government program is underway to revitalize The 251's beaches, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and all you have to do is pray to get into The 251. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 251's national animal is the Domestic House Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The 251 is ranked 37,336^th in the world and 569^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 58.15 kickbacks per hour.
