The Kingdom of Depeyracia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Pavel von Depeyrace with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.692 billion Depeyracians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praga. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Depeyracian economy, worth 560 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,782 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and solid-gold toilets are Depeyracian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Depeyracia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Depeyracia is ranked 27,441^st in the world and 1,843^rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
