The Federal Republic of Devirah is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chrisjen Avasarala with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.591 billion Devirahns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aingil. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Devirahn economy, worth 151 trillion Autos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,157 Autos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, and the government pours millions of Autos into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devirah's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Devirah is ranked 26,030^th in the world and 9^th in Red Autumn for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,236.63 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
