The Armed Republic of Texan Rhodesia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MacMerritt with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, digital currency, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.96 billion Rhodesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Administration is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salisbury. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Texan Rhodesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,109 trillion Rhodies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 239,934 Rhodies, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, Texan Rhodesia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Texan Rhodesia's national animal is the Rhodesian Ridgeback, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nuffle.

Texan Rhodesia is ranked 276,684^th in the world and 42^nd in Dixie for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
