The Atomic Boots of NewTexas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Big Tex with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.754 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NewAustin. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing industries.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, Amnesty Interregional has condemned NewTexas for ignoring crimes against humanity, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. NewTexas's national animal is the Armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Fajita Taco.

NewTexas is ranked 152nd in Texas and 95,110th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -712 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
