The Republic of Denaiel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.225 billion Denaielians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.2%.

The thriving Denaielian economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion den marks a year, is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,417 den marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,577 per year while the poor average 10,937, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and the welfare administration’s new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Denaiel's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Denaiel is ranked 252,421^st in the world and 121^st in Equilism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
