The Democratic People's Republic of The Soviet Texas Union is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Marshal Marky Z Thorpe with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.114 billion Soviet Texans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokovia. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Texan economy, worth a remarkable 1,990 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 179,096 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, and it turns out you can teach cats new tricks. Crime is totally unknown. The Soviet Texas Union's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vrodrinism.

The Soviet Texas Union is ranked 272,944^th in the world and 3,479^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
