The United States of Texas States is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Howdy with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, otherworldly petting zoo, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.661 billion Texans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lone Star City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Texan economy, worth a remarkable 1,803 trillion 100000000000 Tons of Gold a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 208,180 100000000000 Tons of Gold, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 783,899 per year while the poor average 38,551, a ratio of 20.3 to 1.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and truancy levels are on the rise ever since school registers were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texas States's national animal is the Longhorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Texas States is ranked 6,831^st in the world and 214^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,052.61 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
