The Kingdom of South Derpingham is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Dylan with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.955 billion Derps are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Francis. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Derpish economy, worth a remarkable 1,634 trillion Crowns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,207 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, Saint Francis's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Derpingham's national animal is the Gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
South Derpingham is ranked 58,920th in the world and 1st in Derpingham Peninsula for Most Stationary, with 778.21788388468 days.
