The Democratic People's Republic of The Soviet Texas Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Marshal Marky Day Thorpe with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.965 billion Soviet Texans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokovia. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Texan economy, worth 313 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,456 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state conscripts sociopathic orphan girls to train as professional assassins, the government is giving peace a chance, neighboring nations are tired of The Soviet Texas Union's big fish stories, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown. The Soviet Texas Union's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vrodrinism.

The Soviet Texas Union is ranked 13,711^th in the world and 285^th in The East Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
