The Confederate State of Dixie Florida is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Aurantium with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.358 billion Floridians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tampa. The average income tax rate is 4.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Floridan economy, worth a remarkable 2,854 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 198,795 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, cute fluffy little King Aurantiums are increasingly popular exotic pets, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Dixie Florida's national animal is the American Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Southern Baptist Church.

Dixie Florida is ranked 93,824^th in the world and 10^th in Dixie for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,628.57 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
