The Interdimensional Union of Deprauration is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 629 million Depraurationi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astralis Cerisa. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Depraurationi economy, worth 47.4 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 75,298 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All beauty contests have been banned, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deprauration's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Deprauration is ranked 18,919^th in the world and 421^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 61.81 Atheism Rate.
