The Confederate State of Dixie Florida is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Miller Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.472 billion Dixie-Floridians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tampa. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dixie-Floridian economy, worth a remarkable 9,632 trillion Pedals a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 494,672 Pedals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Dixie Florida, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', President Miller Governor has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dixie Florida's national animal is the Floridian Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Southern Baptist Church.

Dixie Florida is ranked 233^rd in the world and 5^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 144,720.27 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
