The Alfred F Jones Republic of Greater North American Confederacy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alfred F Jones with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 15.325 billion Americans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 2,010 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 131,213 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs, it's a miracle that there aren't more plane crashes, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater North American Confederacy's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater North American Confederacy is ranked 9,720^th in the world and 561^st in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 413.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
