The Republic of Greater Texland is a large, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 56 million Texans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Texan economy, worth 1.41 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,115 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Texland's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Greater Texland is ranked 192,862nd in the world and 68th in Wintercrest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
