The Empire of Deuterra is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jean Christophe I with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 15.79 billion Deuterrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Deuterran economy, worth a remarkable 8,429 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 533,829 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the children of Deuterra are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime is totally unknown. Deuterra's national animal is the Búho, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deuterra is ranked 277,838th in the world and 52nd in Union Mundial for Most Cultured, scoring 58 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
