The Confederacy of Socialist Dixie is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.346 billion Mobs enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens Georgia. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Socialist Dixiean economy, worth 19.6 trillion Votes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 14,593 Votes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation", recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, and listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Dixie's national animal is the Wallace's giant bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Socialist Dixie is ranked 218,711th in the world and 2nd in Non Aligned Territories Office for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 134.41 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
