The State of Deadhead is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.69 billion Deadheadians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The strong Deadheadian economy, worth 791 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 62,362 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,931 per year while the poor average 3,909, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Deadhead's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Deadhead is ranked 31,228^th in the world and 3^rd in Idaho for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,847.74 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
