The Federal Republic of Almighty Washington is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 442 million Almighty Washingtonians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The all-consuming Almighty Washingtonian economy, worth 39.3 trillion corncakes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 88,906 corncakes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,782 per year while the poor average 18,577, a ratio of 16.7 to 1.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and binoculars sales are at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almighty Washington's national animal is the American mule, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Almighty Washington is ranked 42,771^st in the world and 3^rd in Almighty Presidents for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
