The Nuts and Bolts of Decacon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Malachi with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, digital currency, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, devout population of 23.099 billion Ten-Fingers 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The 10th District. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ten-Fingered economy, worth a remarkable 1,811 trillion Decis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 78,418 Decis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, tourists call Ten-Fingered beach towns "the fine coastline", and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decacon's national animal is the Ten-Fingered Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Decacon is ranked 38,671^st in the world and 274^th in Europeia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 65,240.76 Standard Monetary Units.
