The Empire of Devoriah is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Imperator with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 8.607 billion Devorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etheria. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Devoriahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion drams a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,410 drams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, Devoriahian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devoriah's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Humanitarianism.

Devoriah is ranked 34,680^th in the world and 1,971^st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
