The Free and Sovereign State of Tlaxcala is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 13.38 billion Tlaxcaltecas are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tlaxcala de Xicohténcatl. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Tlaxcalteca economy, worth 979 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 73,202 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, Leader has just been declared ruler of Tlaxcala in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Tlaxcala's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Tlaxcala's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tlaxcala is ranked 90,244^th in the world and 2^nd in America Latina for Highest Average Incomes, with 73,202.38 Standard Monetary Units.
