The Most Serene Republic of Texian Mining Concern 5 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.892 billion Texian Miners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.
The powerhouse Texian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 93,720 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,244 per year while the poor average 18,132, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.
Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and the military will start wars with other nations on a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Texian Mining Concern 5's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Texian Mining Concern 5 is ranked 319,439th in the world and 16,929th in Chicken overlords for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
