The Dominion of The Dezreik is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by 'Ursa Major' Wheldrake with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.97 billion Dezreikians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beornisgate. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dezreikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,381 trillion Bobs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 198,976 Bobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dezreik's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

The Dezreik is ranked 12,398th in the world and 14th in International Democratic Union for Most Stationary, with 2,020.40713054972 days.
