The Empire of Deronia- is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its burgeoning Dern'ian Red Pigeon population. The compassionate, devout population of 477 million Deronians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cottag. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Deronian economy, worth 21.6 trillion Rones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,386 Rones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deronia-'s national animal is the Dern'ian Red Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Deronia- is ranked 57,090^th in the world and 3^rd in Regio for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,405.81 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
