The Republic of Dengstan is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 212 million Dengstanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dengstanian economy, worth 16.7 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,598 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dengstan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dengstan is ranked 63,635^th in the world and 801^st in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 73.25 on the Human Development Index.
