The Authoritarian Autocracy of Rick Perry is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dominick Lesley Norris with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.369 billion Y'alls are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crapstone city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Dem Y'alls economy, worth 123 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,052 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

A surprisingly large share of the nation's budget is used to buy new houses for immigrants, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, the secret ingredient is love (and MSG), and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rick Perry's national animal is the Black Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rick Perry is ranked 146,568^th in the world and 15^th in The Official United Nations for Smartest Citizens, with 27.69 quips per hour.
