The Desert of Deathshroud is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.885 billion Deathshrouds enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.8%.

The very strong Osiran economy, worth 160 trillion scarabs a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 55,737 scarabs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,139 per year while the poor average 12,617, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is a problem. Deathshroud's national animal is the Deathshroud, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deathshroud is ranked 261,161^st in the world and 1^st in PeninsulaOfSeaLimes for Highest Poor Incomes, with 12,617.15 Standard Monetary Units.
