The Confederation States of Republic of Dixie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rex of Texas with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 18.662 billion Confederates have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Houston. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 2,753 trillion Confederate Notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,561 Confederate Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, throwing a sickie is a serious crime, and it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Dixie's national animal is the Black-Mouthed Cur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stoicism.

Republic of Dixie is ranked 2,534^th in the world and 1^st in Dixie for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,512.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
