The Armed Republic of The States of Texas and Arkansas is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kenneth Magnum with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.278 billion Texans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Texarkana. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient States of Texas and Arkansasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,887 trillion Standardized Resource Units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The States of Texas and Arkansas's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Southern Baptist.
