The Southern Republic of The Dixie Confederate Union is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Admiral Jane Stuart-Jones with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.576 billion Southerners 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress Washington. The average income tax rate is 7.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern economy, worth a remarkable 4,301 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 316,842 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dixie Confederate Union's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Southern Catholicism.

The Dixie Confederate Union is ranked 314,115^th in the world and 282^nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Primitive, scoring -737.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
