The State of Dixie Mendroit is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 43.584 billion Dixie Mendroitians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The powerhouse Dixie Mendroitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,856 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,589 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and a major religion has been named as Dixie Mendroit's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dixie Mendroit's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dixie Mendroit is ranked 60,785^th in the world and 1^st in Gulf Islands for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 69.08 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
