The Republic of The Confederate States of America is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President George Wallace II with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.708 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 1,168 trillion Confederate dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 204,796 Confederate dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 980,968 per year while the poor average 25,019, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Confederate States of America's national animal is the turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Confederate States of America is ranked 14,006^th in the world and 278^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 126.93 kickbacks per hour.
