The Fiefdom of Deafria is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.101 billion Deafrians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense and Public Transport aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Deafrian economy, worth 286 trillion joyaus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 136,242 joyaus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,225,035 per year while the poor average 1,898, a ratio of 645 to 1.

Charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and you can be fired for dyeing grey hairs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Deafria's national animal is the chameau, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deafria is ranked 8,828th in the world and 7th in Dystopian Utopia for Most Cultured, scoring 121 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
