The United Peoples of Dexterra is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.698 billion Dexters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beagalia. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dexter economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 212,983 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dexterra's national animal is the beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unconditional love.

Dexterra is ranked 166,924^th in the world and 2^nd in Dexter for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 597.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
