The People's Republic of United Socialist Latin States is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jamie de la Cruz with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.09 billion Latinoes love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mexico City. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming United Socialist Latin Statesian economy, worth 115 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 106,184 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, astronauts take one small step for United Socialist Latin States and one giant step backward from confrontation, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Socialist Latin States's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

United Socialist Latin States is ranked 17,326^th in the world and 380^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92 law-abiding acts per hour.
