The Technocratic Space Kingdom of Destyntine is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Destyn IX with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.298 billion Destynians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyståska. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Destynic economy, worth 205 trillion Kroners a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,615 Kroners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Father-son fishing trips have been banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, and Destynians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Destyntine's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Modernized Norse Paganism.

Destyntine is ranked 97,255^th in the world and 475^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,522.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
