The Empire of The Southern Federation is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Stanford with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.974 billion Southerners 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, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Federationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 trillion Confederate Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 200,112 Confederate Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 691,265 per year while the poor average 42,367, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Southerners make research institutes rich, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, many aides in President Stanford's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime is totally unknown. The Southern Federation's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Southern Federation is ranked 77,425th in the world and 13th in Dixie for Safest, scoring 91.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
