The Republic of Devinropia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 250 million Devinropians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.9%.

The Devinropian economy, worth 11.4 trillion 1 nonillions a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,502 1 nonillions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devinropia's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Devinropia is ranked 250,059^th in the world and 21^st in The Churchlands for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
