The Armed Republic of Texas Legends is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 373 million Texas Legendsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.0%.
The very strong Texas Legendsian economy, worth 19.3 trillion Antlers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 51,797 Antlers, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.
Nudity is frowned upon, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texas Legends's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Texas Legends is ranked 323,372nd in the world and 15,436th in Balder for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.05 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
