The Allied States of Socaltucky is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Juan Van Sic with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.464 billion Socaltuckians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fuerte Franco. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The powerhouse Socaltuckian economy, worth 279 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 80,671 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,960 per year while the poor average 22,163, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, and the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Socaltucky's national animal is the Cardinal Bear and its national religion is Christianity.

Socaltucky is ranked 169,283^rd in the world and 242^nd in The Free Nations Region for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 49.36 Whatever.
