The Republic of Dekar is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.14 billion Dekarians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Dekarian economy, worth 55.5 trillion deniers 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 9,032 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dekar's national animal is the turtle.

Dekar is ranked 280,480^th in the world and 1^st in Xertron kingdom for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 353.25 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
