The Commonwealth of Deneb

“Unitas Per Servitiam”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Deneb is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prefect Horace Capet with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12.785 billion Denebians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cygnia. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Denebian economy, worth 786 trillion thalers 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. 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 61,494 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Denebians believe manners maketh the leader, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deneb's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Deneb is ranked 81,914^th in the world and 1^st in Burundi for Safest, scoring 89.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
