The Armed Republic of Texias is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Johnquavioustavious Demarcus Jaundice Sr with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.053 billion Texians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sycaria. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Texiasian economy, worth 136 trillion Chocolate Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,937 Chocolate Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and former bakers no longer have to get their baps out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texias's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lego.

Texias is ranked 16,153^rd in the world and 4^th in Imperial Sanctuary for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 315.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
