The Confederation of Republic of Dixie is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Rex of Texas with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.735 billion Confederates are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galveston. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 4,098 trillion Confederate Notes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,685 Confederate Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, the government is said to have a martyrdom complex, and police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Dixie's national animal is the Black-Mouthed Cur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spirtual Gnostic.

Republic of Dixie is ranked 3,817^th in the world and 1^st in Dixie for Most Cultured, scoring 184 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
