The Confederacy of Holy Confederate States is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ron DeSantis with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.976 billion confederates 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Holy Confederate Statesian economy, worth 99.8 trillion Confederate Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,493 Confederate Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, artists are pillars of society, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Confederate States's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Holy Confederate States is ranked 40,596^th in the world and 65^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
