The Serene Highland Bluffs of Dest Oritio is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Brian O'Hare with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.277 billion Dest Oritioats 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Destro. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dest Oritian economy, worth a remarkable 3,990 trillion Jams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 261,207 Jams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown. Dest Oritio's national animal is the Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Haretic.

Dest Oritio is ranked 2,220^th in the world and 29^th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,297.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
