The Dictatorship of Ameriganastan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Darius Varheim with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.615 billion Ameriganis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varheim City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ameriganastanian economy, worth an astonishing 16,165 trillion Varheims 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 495,632 Varheims, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,798,797 per year while the poor average 97,263, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Ameriganastan after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ameriganastan's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Saraya.

Ameriganastan is ranked 5,589th in the world and 12th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,129.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
