The United Socialist States of Debordan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dearest with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 10.154 billion Debordanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Horkheimer. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Debordanian economy, worth 640 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 63,044 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Debordan" at foreigners, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debordan's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheist.

Debordan is ranked 160,013^th in the world and 786^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,311.81 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
