The Armed Republic of The States of Texas and Arkansas is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kenneth Magnum with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.323 billion Texans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Texarkana. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient States of Texas and Arkansasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,887 trillion Standardized Resource Units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 257,762 Standardized Resource Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, remarriage vows include hefty travel expenses, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and Kenneth Magnum's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The States of Texas and Arkansas's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Southern Baptist.

The States of Texas and Arkansas is ranked 2,736^th in the world and 20^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 90.24 flags saluted per person per day.
