The United Peoples of Dexterra is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.619 billion Dexters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beagalia. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dexter economy, worth a remarkable 2,462 trillion treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 211,951 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and mosh pits are a common phenomenon in the people's political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dexterra's national animal is the beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unconditional love.

Dexterra is ranked 304,843^rd in the world and 3^rd in Dexter for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.37 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
