The Republic of Divinua is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 85 million Divinuans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Divinuan economy, worth 6.58 trillion Reais a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 77,368 Reais, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and Divinuans caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divinua's national animal is the Pedro Basso, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Divinua is ranked 118,003^rd in the world and 50^th in The Invaders for Most Developed, scoring 58.66 on the Human Development Index.
