The Disputed Territories of Deep South States is a small, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32 million Southerners are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.
The thriving Dixie economy, worth 2.38 trillion confederate dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,503 confederate dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,058 per year while the poor average 14,733, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.
Wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, and military training in Deep South States emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Deep South States's national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Deep South States is ranked 90,353rd in the world and 2,200th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 16.16 flags saluted per person per day.
