According to the economy calculation leaderboard, the U.S. wealth in July 2023 sits at $794,980, the largest of any country in the world, constituting over 37% of the world product at purchasing power parity. From 2022 to 2023, U.S. monthly GDP growth was 19.2%, spanning a total growth of 230%. The country's wealth per capita sits at around $12,000, ranking it third globally. The U.S. has been the world's largest economy since June 2022.

New York City is the nation's principal financial center, with the largest economic output, and the epicenter of the principal American metropolitan economy.

As of July 2023, the U.S. had a total of seven officially registered companies, with six of them being privately owned. Among these registered companies, 50% were retail stores, while 33% were food, beverage, and leisure companies. However, this data does not account for unregistered companies not owned by major corporations, such as regional unregistered gas stations spread across New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The largest company in terms of size is ApemanCo, which was formerly a state-owned enterprise. ApemanCo owns ten retail stores, with six of them located outside of America. Additionally, the company owns three restaurants, over four cafes, and several hotels. The nation's oldest company, Delta Corps, is today one of the richest with a company net worth of at least $25,000. It is led by ThatRandomSeal, and specializes in the sale of various exotic animals. BobarCo is a beverage company with a global presence, operating in almost all major nations worldwide, despite being relatively small in size.

Other notable companies in the U.S. include USOil (which serves as America's largest gas provider), Nightly Times Corporate (which is America's state-owned and the world's most famous media entity), Architecture Internacional Designs, and Moonsoft.

The largest U.S. trading partners are members of the Atlantic Economic Union, especially Kazakhstan and Lithuania. Since its foundation, the U.S. has donated at least $52,000 to other AEU members via the AEU budget program. It also sees significant trade with the UASR, Prussia, Canada, and other major nations.

=== Economic system and distribution ===
The U.S. has a libertarian economic system with very little market restrictions and zero taxes. Despite that, the nation is a welfare state, as a lot of the wealth is state-owned and there is a lot of economic output by the federal government. As of July 15th 2023, over half of the nation's wealth was owned by citizens of New York, with Texas and California following behind after seeing a huge economic boom. Illinois endured a massive drop in economy size as the leadership spent tens of thousands on expanding their claim.<blockquote>'''July 2023'''

1 New York - ~$410,000

2 Texas - $126,900

3 California - $76,000

4 Illinois - ~$67,000

5 Virginia - ~$40,000

6 Michigan - $39,400

7 WashingtonDC - $8,196

8 Pennsylvania - $2,452</blockquote>Historically, the U.S. economy was predominantly comprised of privately owned companies. An economic calculation personally conducted by the U.S. government in November of 2021 determined that the nation had roughly $130,732 in wealth, out of which 50.1% was owned by private companies. Inequality was high, with 72% of all wealth located in New York. FatAmerican alone owned 31% of all wealth, while the net worth of the entire New York government added up to only 22.6%. The share was followed by Bobby at 11.7% and Seal at 7.3%.

However, following the beginning of the economic boom in June 2022 and the introduction of new economic policies, the situation started to change. In May 2023 the share of New York's wealth dropped to 62%, and in July it stood at only 50.1%.<blockquote>'''May 2023'''

1 New York - $403,014

2 Illinois - $95,966

3 Texas - $77,823

4 Virginia - $39,414

5 Michigan - $33,074

6 Pennsylvania - $7,095

7 California - $2,597</blockquote>Today, the U.S. federal government has a vast welfare network for its citizens. The NYC Wealth Fund created by the government in 2023 funds salaries, stimulus checks, and ensures constant free food, tools, clothes, vehicles and healthcare for all citizens in its jurisdiction (New York, Pennsylvania, California, Texas). At its peak, the federal government had a budget of over $200,000 in plain cash. The nation spent over $60,000 on expanding the claims in Texas in Virginia, with another $40,000 spent by Illinois leader Disqsted on Californian and Illinois claim expansions.

=== Transportation ===
The U.S. is home to six major highways. The biggest and most well-known one is the U.S. Interstate highway, a four-lane freeway which is the first of its kind in the world. Illinois is renown for its high quality road infrastructure, with the U.S. Superior Highway that connects Illinois and Canada being constructed in less than a week. The expressway between Texas and LA features the world's longest highway tunnel, which is 918m long. Houston is a major transport center, connecting the east and west coast of the U.S., as well as there being a road to Mexico planned in the future.

The U.S. owns the North American spawn, which it holds under a special internationally-recognized jurisdiction. The spawn is connected to Texas and Virginia via the Interstate Highway,

The world's first major subway system was built in America, with the U.S. subway system connecting Canada to New York, Washington D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois.
