The Empire of Texian Ranch 04 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.247 billion Texian Ranchers 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 Industry, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.4%.

The all-consuming Texian economy, worth a remarkable 1,069 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,410 baht, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texian Ranch 04's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Texian Ranch 04 is ranked 223,562^nd in the world and 17,327^th in Chicken overlords for Most Primitive, scoring -99.86 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
