The Megacorporation of Texico is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Rich Kruger with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.536 billion Texicans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Texicapita. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Texicoan economy, worth 837 trillion Dollaridoos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,081 Dollaridoos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,003,597 per year while the poor average 1,482, a ratio of 677 to 1.

Recognizing the Texicoan flag qualifies you for citizenship, slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Dollaridoo charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Texico's national animal is the Sea Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Amalgamism.

Texico is ranked 168,947th in the world and 8,881st in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,066.76 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
