The Empire of Devinsburg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Supreme Overlord with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.492 billion Devinsburgians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dinkleburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Devinsburgian economy, worth a remarkable 9,435 trillion grams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 699,349 grams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Belly is watching you, groups of three or more trees are cut down in the name of 'child safety', the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Devinsburg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devinsburg's national animal is the Sabre-Tooth Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Church of The Holy Supreme Overlord.

Devinsburg is ranked 295,275th in the world and 11,593rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring -431 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
