The Democratic Republic of Desz is a massive, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.067 billion Deszians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Desz. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Deszian economy, worth 78.7 trillion D-Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,732 D-Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desz's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Desz is ranked 73,494^th in the world and 35^th in Edoca for Most Developed, scoring 69.63 on the Human Development Index.
