The Proletarian Federation of Southwest America is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dillion Martin-Heizel with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 2.377 billion Southwest Americans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Washington. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The all-consuming Southwest American economy, worth 291 trillion worker's coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 122,669 worker's coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southwest America's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Southwest America is ranked 302,873^rd in the world and 1,552^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.08 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
