The Civic Lands of Central Decanus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mayor Evergreen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.905 billion Central Decanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The frighteningly efficient Central Decanusian economy, worth 412 trillion Pull Tabs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 142,014 Pull Tabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Autocrats are persona non grata, Central Decanus is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Decanus's national animal is the Southern Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Central Decanus is ranked 14,924th in the world and 1st in Greater Decanus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 356.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
