The Confederate State of Dixie Florida is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Aurantium with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.358 billion Floridians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tampa. The average income tax rate is 4.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Floridan economy, worth a remarkable 2,856 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 198,955 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jailbreaking is the best-selling book category of the year, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Dixie Florida's national animal is the American Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Southern Baptist Church.

Dixie Florida is ranked 93,843^rd in the world and 10^th in Dixie for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,626.13 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
