The Kingdom of Texas Estrella is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.975 billion Texians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingsley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.6%.

The very strong Texian economy, worth 668 trillion Texas Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 67,014 Texas Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,414 per year while the poor average 18,559, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Texas Estrella. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Texas Estrella's national animal is the Texas Longhorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Texas Estrella is ranked 164,130^th in the world and 1,112^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 445.72 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
