The Protectorate of Dee bright NPO is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.317 billion Dee bright NPOians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dee bright NPOian economy, worth a remarkable 2,113 trillion denarii 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 147,652 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, they say that Dee bright NPOians made a dessert and called it peace, and unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dee bright NPO's national animal is the Franco, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dee bright NPO is ranked 289,017^th in the world and 5,169^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -16.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
