The Armed Republic of Strategic Air Command is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by General Curtis E LeMay with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.297 billion Strategic Air Commandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.7%.

The powerhouse Strategic Air Commandian economy, worth 663 trillion Micromorts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,367 Micromorts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,614 per year while the poor average 16,377, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Strategic Air Commandians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, and chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Cheyenne Mountain Complex's playgrounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Strategic Air Command's national animal is the Falcons, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Mutual Assured Destruction.

Strategic Air Command is ranked 152,042^nd in the world and 41^st in Hurricane 12 for Safest, scoring 61.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
