The Battle of Fort Sumter is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Abraham Lincoln with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.252 billion Soldiers 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Sumter. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fort Sumterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,745 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus, cash-strapped Soldiers scour their bodies for fortuitous zits, many are questioning Abraham Lincoln wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech, and Fort Sumterian doors require a Ph.D. to open. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort Sumter's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fort Sumter is ranked 116,978^th in the world and 23^rd in The Card Mine for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,836.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
