The Memorial Nation of of NewTexas is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Big Tex with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 51.588 billion NewTexans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NewAustin. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient NewTexan economy, worth an astonishing 20,380 trillion Fajita Tacoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 395,061 Fajita Tacoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Big Tex's hair. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. NewTexas's national animal is the Armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NewTexas is ranked 885^th in the world and 2^nd in Texas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,853.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
