The United States of Deciphered is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 218 million Decipheredians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Decipheredian economy, worth 14.4 trillion UDCS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 65,833 UDCS, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Deciphered's national animal is the Starfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Deciphered is ranked 291,831^st in the world and 24^th in Theoretically Debatable for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
