The Empire of Rick Perry is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, lack of airports, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 699 million Y'alls are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crapstone city. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The powerhouse Dem Y'alls economy, worth 56.7 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,071 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, sushi is sold on the black market, and warning signs caution Y'alls where they may fall off 'the edge of the world'. 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.

Rick Perry is ranked 218,681^st in the world and 6^th in The Federation of Utopias Unitum for Smartest Citizens, with 15.3 quips per hour.
