The Republic of Decron is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.207 billion Decronians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Decronian economy, worth 192 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,898 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decron's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Decron is ranked 164,946^th in the world and 7^th in Zero for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 262.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
