The State of Natchez Trace is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 43.834 billion Natchez Traceans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The powerhouse Natchez Tracean economy, worth a remarkable 2,123 trillion betales a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 48,443 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 164,929 per year while the poor average 10,484, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, child labor has been outlawed, and Natchez Trace has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Natchez Trace's national animal is the deer.

Natchez Trace is ranked 56,498^th in the world and 1^st in Natchez Trace for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 78.89 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
