The casino-led government of Mississippi leads a State with one of the highest standards of living in America. The people are friendly and masters of bleeding foreigners of all the money they can afford to lose. The State is peaceful and safe for visitors and locals alike. The reason for this is simple. The casinos do not believe in imprisoning those who break the peace or hurt others. Prisons cost money to maintain. It is much better to put such people to better use, or be rid of them altogether. Those convicted of minor offenses are granted the option of serving their terms in the Mississippi Defense Forces. Those who commit less minor crimes are required to spend their sentences in exile, where they can see how people outside Mississippi live. The worst dangers to peaceful society are executed after a scrupulously fair and swift trial.

Mississippi’s casinos supported a surprisingly altruistic society from the very beginning. They ran the numbers, studied the studies, and came to the decision that a happy and healthy population was good for profits. They could work longer, suck more foreigners out of their hard-earned money, and they were far less of a headache to govern. Families with nice houses and white picket fences are less likely to break the law and hurt other people, greatly reducing the amount of money required to keep the peace. They also aggressively supported free speech on all platforms, especially that speech critical of the government. Monitoring the complaints allowed them to know where they should modify matters to address common concerns. Mississippi has one of the highest standards of living, and greatest profits, in known space because of this aggressively altruistic governance.

Mississippi’s casino-backed government spent many years fighting the various terrorist and rebellious groups in the State’s poorer, more rural regions. Some proved easy to subdue, most often by simply buying their grievances out. The casinos had a great deal of money, most of it from Out-of-State sources. Giving the poorer citizens of Mississippi a piece of the pie was small ball for the casinos. The harder nuts to crack proved to be the various anti-capitalist revolutionist terror groups. They sported funding from beyond the State as well, and many of their best leaders trained with their brothers in arms from the various Islamic States. They were extremely dedicated to the revolution, forcing Mississippi’s new government to hunt down and eradicate them, one group at a time. This was often unhealthy for the nearby landscape or any people in the area.
