The Holy green egg-hunter of Devious is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by santa claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.425 billion Deviousians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Deviousian economy, worth 723 trillion cashes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 97,438 cashes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 756,221 per year while the poor average 3,264, a ratio of 231 to 1.

Parachutes are considered optional with the newest line of jet fighters, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Devious's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Devious is ranked 313,137^th in the world and 207^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Safest, scoring 4.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
