The Dominion of Deathria is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kaesar Deathray with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.032 billion Deathrians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lak Dyathros. The average income tax rate is 29.3%.

The strong Deathrian economy, worth 221 trillion Vieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 55,042 Vieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only native-born Deathrians who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office, political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deathria's national animal is the Hippopotamus and its national religion is Dyathranism.

Deathria is ranked 97,476^th in the world and 4^th in Cools Established Barrier for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
