The Confederacy of Free Mojave States is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Caleb Hughes with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.607 billion Mojaveans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vegas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mojavean economy, worth 186 trillion Free Mojave Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 116,195 Free Mojave Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 683,082 per year while the poor average 9,210, a ratio of 74.2 to 1.

Parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Free Mojave States's national animal is the Mojave Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Free Mojave States is ranked 190,061^st in the world and 10^th in Wastelands of NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.86 kickbacks per hour.
