The Republic of Derrick May is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The cynical, devout population of 1.613 billion Derrick Mayians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Derrick Mayian economy, worth 114 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,968 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Derrick May's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Derrick May is ranked 90,217^th in the world and 9^th in Empires Forever United for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
