The Fashionable Republic of Dervenland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sabrina Claudia Saint Laurent with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.089 billion Dervlenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville d'Orchidées. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dervlenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion Nacelles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,739 Nacelles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and the nation leads Europe in per capita stalking. Crime is totally unknown. Dervenland's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dervenland is ranked 38,231^st in the world and 155^th in Europe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 101.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
