The Fiefdom of Deretanica is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.125 billion Deretanicans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.8%.
The very strong Deretanican economy, worth 469 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,740 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deretanica's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Deretanica is ranked 151,448th in the world and 88th in Komut Universe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
