The Americas Team of The Cowboys is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jerry Jones with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.974 billion Cowboysians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dallas. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cowboysian economy, worth a remarkable 1,573 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 143,414 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cowboys's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Football.

The Cowboys is ranked 22,694^th in the world and 1,527^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 91.39 kickbacks per hour.
