The Constitutional Monarchy of The Monarchist Confederacy of Dixieland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Governor Gammel with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed population of 1.947 billion Dixies 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Jackson. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dixielandian economy, worth 184 trillion Dixie Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,004 Dixie Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Monarchist Confederacy of Dixieland's national animal is the American Alligator, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
