The Republic of Typhoon Texas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cowboy with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.539 billion Typhoon Texans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cabana. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Typhoon Texan economy, worth 137 trillion Dippin Dots a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,238 Dippin Dots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, Cowboy has killer fashion sense, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is totally unknown. Typhoon Texas's national animal is the Elf Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Lazy River Ideology.

Typhoon Texas is ranked 69,564^th in the world and 13^th in Sky Haven for Most Primitive, scoring 39.03 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
