The American Dream of Architeuthis is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Steve O'Shea with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 46.547 billion Architeuthisians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moistopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but inefficient Architeuthisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,184 trillion root of all evils a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,381 root of all evils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Architeuthis's national animal is the ample-rumped sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Architeuthis is ranked 293,528^th in the world and 69^th in United States for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
