The Grand Kingdom of Detrona is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Dsyhlan Jundazaran with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.375 billion Detronans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dushction. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Detronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,241 trillion Detrines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,738 Detrines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown. Detrona's national animal is the Detronan Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dradionism.

Detrona is ranked 3,355^th in the world and 10^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 95.38 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
