The State of Southwestern Federal Republic is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.325 billion Southwestern Federal Republicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Southwestern Federal Republician economy, worth 239 trillion Republican Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,995 Republican Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Southwestern Federal Republic's national animal is the Aramadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Southwestern Federal Republic is ranked 191,024^th in the world and 437^th in Concord for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,160.63 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
