The Republic of Little Texas is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 45 million Little Texasians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The strong Little Texasian economy, worth 2.57 trillion horseshoes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 57,141 horseshoes, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, genetic researchers have been expelled, organ donation is compulsory, and chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Texas's national animal is the Blue Stallion.

Little Texas is ranked 167,710^th in the world and 8^th in United Alliances for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 0.8 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
