The Conservative Federation of Armed union

The Conservative Federation of Armed union is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Ted Cruz with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 947 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conservacity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail industries.

Citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Armed union's national animal is the Bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Nudeniro.
