The Desu State of Desu Ex is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Suiseiseki with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.618 billion Desu Exians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Humania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Desu Exian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion doge coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 86,825 doge coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, the endangered saltwater humpback dragon is only seen in captivity programs, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Desu Ex's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Desu Ex is ranked 40,326^th in the world and 9^th in 4chan for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,278.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
