The Republic of Deck Space is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.253 billion Deck Spaceans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deck Spacean economy, worth a remarkable 2,832 trillion Banks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,731 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, divorce is illegal, and citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deck Space's national animal is the Joker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deck Space is ranked 4,707th in the world and 4th in Riemst for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 59,076.09 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
