The State of Southern District is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.768 billion Southern Districtians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong Southern Districtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,246 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 48,388 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 328,980 per year while the poor average 2,599, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, military funding has been stripped back, and Southern District has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Southern District's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Southern District is ranked 98,082^nd in the world and 1^st in Southern District for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,147.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
