The United States of Sweetwater-TX- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.88 billion Sweetwater-TX-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Sweetwater-TX-ian economy, worth 777 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,297 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 522,678 per year while the poor average 22,671, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.
Drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, the internet has been placed under government control, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweetwater-TX-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Sweetwater-TX- is ranked 51,667th in the world and 394th in Aerospace for Smartest Citizens, with 41.54 quips per hour.
