The Confederation States of Republic of Dixie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rex of Texas with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 18.553 billion Confederates have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Houston. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 2,737 trillion Confederate Notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,545 Confederate Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. 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 Gray War Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Stoicism.

Republic of Dixie is ranked 6,345^th in the world and 1^st in Dixie for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
