The Federal Union of States of Denieria is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Patrick Macneil with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.176 billion Denierians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gutenberg. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Denierian economy, worth a remarkable 2,801 trillion Denierian Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 197,621 Denierian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Denieria's national animal is the White Tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Denieria is ranked 310,755^th in the world and 2,711^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -29.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
