The United Socialist States of Debia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 16 million Debians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Debian economy, worth 295 billion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,449 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's best not to ask what goes into Debia City Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, refugees from other nations are flocking to Debia's border, and it is often said that only Leader could bring down Dàguó. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Debia is ranked 125,045^th in the world and 1^st in The Commons for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,158.59 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
