The United States of America Gone Wrong is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Rick Astley with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate population of 10.749 billion Kiwis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warsaw. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiwi economy, worth a remarkable 1,591 trillion Soviet Francs 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 148,025 Soviet Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, the government funds large training centres to turn Frogs into functioning members of society, and entomologists flock to Warsaw for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. America Gone Wrong's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Philosophy.

America Gone Wrong is ranked 10,901^st in the world and 245^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 410.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
