The Incorporated States of South Texia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.517 billion South Texians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Antonio. The average income tax rate is 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient South Texian economy, worth a remarkable 1,361 trillion almighty dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 129,494 almighty dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and the South Texian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. South Texia's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

South Texia is ranked 69,845th in the world and 2nd in Sohcahtoa for Most Corrupt Governments, with 26.07 kickbacks per hour.
