Dixie borders the to the north, the  to the east, the  and Mexico to the south, and Sierra to the west. It is the world's country by area, and the world's  by population as of 2015.

The small national government is based upon a balance between three branches of the government: the president representing the executive, the senate representing the legislature, and the supreme court representing the judiciary. As per the terms of the constitution, the national government is limited to administration in foreign affairs, interstate affairs, defence, financial solvency, legal systems, and justice. All other pretences of governance are hence left to the state to decide upon themselves. This system of government was agreed upon in the revised constitution, which came into power on 24 May 1870.

The area now made up by the Confederate States was once inhabited by various native tribes which had lived in the area for at least sixteen thousand years. The first Europeans to settle in the current area did so at in 1607, which eventually expanded into the various. The declared their independence in 1776 and fought the  to establish their independence by the year 1783. The United States established a united under the virtues explored in the, creating a  of states under which a federal government came to power in 1789. The United States expanded westward with the in 1803, fought in the, and expanded even more in the. The issue of further drove tensions over what powers the federal government specifically held, and eventually led to the, which established the Confederate States in 1862 and saw their victory over the United States in 1836 with the Treaty of Burning Washington. The modern government was established in 1870, as a compact between the states of the Confederate States which served to institute a government whose powers only came in the regulation of affairs between the states and with foreign nations.

The Confederate States, as a result of its independence, remained highly agrarian for the rest of the 19th century, embracing the Southern romanticist cultural movement which further drove upon differences between what was formerly the north and the south and leading to official adoption of the name Dixie along with the new constitution. In 1884, the First Plantation Revolution brought about many different and new crops used in the upon which the  thrived. Though highly based upon agricultural practices, the Confederate States continued to develop as a modern nation along with many industrial powers, becoming a leading power in the world by the onset of the in 1914. Social movements encouraged by the and a renewed friendship with the  saw a gilded age after the end of the war in 1917, but the  and the  hit the country hard, which saw the beginning of the Deportation Movement in the 1930s. After the end of the, the Confederate States was largely ostacized as being the last country to hold slaves, and increasing pressure from both domestic and international movements would see a period of bans against slavery enacted beginning with Virginia in 1952 until last state to hold slaves, Mississippi, banned slavery by 1964. Most freed slaves were deported to, though many would flee into neighbouring countries. Afterwards, the Second Plantation Revolution revitalized the Dixan economy and served to implement the the economic idea of Agrarian industrialization. The end of the saw a period of peace and economic globalization emerge, policies which heavily profitted the agrarian, export economy of Dixie.

The economy of Dixie is largely and, having never underwent the actual process of the  but having greatly been influenced by its products. Dixie is a country which continued to develop on a technological standpoint with the rest of the Western world, though the country itself never endured the mass industrialization brought about by the advent of the. Instead, the country's economy is based upon the export of agricultural goods such as, , , , , , and produced on mass scale at plantations. The development of the industrial plantation system in the 1960s saw the end of slavery as a means of production, and a replacement with lower and middle class workers through the use of technological means to reduce the intensity, requirement, and necessity of human labor. Small farms also are a prominent part of the system, as trade through logsitics based companies allows for the mass production and distribution of locally produced agricultural goods. This system has allowed for the development of a largely system of small, independent farmers to make up the bulk of the population spread through the lower, middle, and upper classes of society. The result of this is a very even spread of wealth and a low cost of living, along with high rankings of political and economic freedom.

Dixie is a largely neutral country which prefers not to intrude in the politics of other countries. Instead, the Confederate States prefers to make friends with most governments and largely exist in neutrality with those otherwise disavowed among the international community.
