The Democratic People's Republic of The Soviet Texas Union is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Marky Drez Thorpe with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.874 billion Soviet Texans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokovia. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Texan economy, worth 930 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 158,474 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Soviet Texas Union, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and The Soviet Texas Union is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. The Soviet Texas Union's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vrodrinism.

The Soviet Texas Union is ranked 19,171^st in the world and 430^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
