The EPOQUE of Texas Willpower is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.115 billion Texas Willpowerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.6%.

The powerhouse Texas Willpowerian economy, worth 138 trillion ★★★★★s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,091 ★★★★★s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,347 per year while the poor average 14,208, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, Texas Willpowerian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texas Willpower's national animal is the Lupo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Texas Willpower is ranked 26,016th in the world and 1st in Penguin Logistics for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,500.98 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
