The Democratic People's Republic of The Soviet Texas Union is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Marky Day Thorpe with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.948 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokovia. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Texan economy, worth 306 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, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 157,568 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', voting is voluntary, hospitals in The Soviet Texas Union are too busy serving the needs of The East Pacific to see Soviet Texans, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. 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 4,072^nd in the world and 135^th in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 21.54 bananas ingested per day.
