The Empire of Deronia- is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Dern'ian Red Pigeon population. The compassionate, devout population of 272 million Deronians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Deronian economy, worth 12.2 trillion Rones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,706 Rones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

High school bands practice by moonlight, structures are raised on promises, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deronia-'s national animal is the Dern'ian Red Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Deronia- is ranked 164,492^nd in the world and 8^th in Regio for Most Developed, scoring 54.62 on the Human Development Index.
