The People's Republic of Desvios is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by PauseDoop with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.469 billion Desviosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desvios City. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Desviosian economy, worth a remarkable 5,202 trillion decapitated heads a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 281,678 decapitated heads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, the government has spread itself thin, and Desvios is sometimes referred to as the global janitor. Crime is totally unknown. Desvios's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Desvios is ranked 989^th in the world and 34^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 90.69 average smiles per day.
