The Regional Capital District of Declansburg is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Declansburg Assembly with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 5.277 billion Declansburgians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Declansburg Capital District. The average income tax rate is 13.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Declansburgian economy, worth 168 trillion Dáxlamic Marks 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 31,852 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, and giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls. Crime is totally unknown. Declansburg's national animal is the Virginia Opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Non-Denominational.

Declansburg is ranked 152,642^nd in the world and 222^nd in Declansburg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
