The Confederacy of Southern Republics is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Marsha Blackburn with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.512 billion Confederates are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. The average income tax rate is 45.5%.

The thriving Confederate economy, worth 544 trillion Confederate Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 72,446 Confederate Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, abacus sales outpace those of the personal computer following the closure of the Internet, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Republics's national animal is the Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Southern Republics is ranked 27,476^th in the world and 455^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,795.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
