The Great Republic of Destronka is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Boris Chanatok with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.68 billion Destronkans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastchuk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.

The all-consuming Destronkan economy, worth 924 trillion Chenkas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 106,548 Chenkas, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists', and the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Destronka's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Destronka is ranked 87,678^th in the world and 1^st in Alliance of Power for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,669.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
