The Empire of Denric is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 209 million Denricians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The very strong Denrician economy, worth 14.9 trillion Yuan a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,098 Yuan, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,466 per year while the poor average 14,431, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.

Sanitary products are sold in brown paper at hairdressers' salons, politicians look weirdly alike, most academic research has ground to a halt, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Denric's national animal is the scavenger , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Denric is ranked 82,345^th in the world and 158^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 22.9 kickbacks per hour.
