The Devilish Delinquent of Devious is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by santa claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.849 billion Deviousians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Deviousian economy, worth a remarkable 1,171 trillion cashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 108,002 cashes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 912,291 per year while the poor average 2,364, a ratio of 385 to 1.

Retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Devious's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Devious is ranked 37,916^th in the world and 4^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
