The Confederate States of Dixie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Nathan Bedford Featherston with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 29.264 billion Confederates have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 4,683 trillion Confederate States dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,032 Confederate States dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, the Confederate football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dixie's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Dixie is ranked 76,497^th in the world and 4^th in Dixie for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 57.32 Effective Tax Rate.
