The Imperial State of Confederacy Of Tennessee is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Andrew III with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.573 billion Tennesseeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dresden. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tennesseean economy, worth 396 trillion Tennessee Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,031 Tennessee Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 857,296 per year while the poor average 13,844, a ratio of 61.9 to 1.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, there's no such thing as a safe bet, sports club owners are having a moneyball, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Confederacy Of Tennessee's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Confederacy Of Tennessee is ranked 284,787^th in the world and 1,435^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4.33 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
