The Directorate of Devorah is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Boy Kavalier with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.049 billion Devorahians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Siam. The average income tax rate is 5.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Devorahian economy, worth 823 trillion eurodollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 269,974 eurodollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The automobile industry is sitting up and taking notice of the new 24 hour race events... as are the track's sleepless neighbours, sports club owners are having a moneyball, the government has enacted freedom of information, and Devorahian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Boy Kavalier. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Devorah's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Boy Genuis.

Devorah is ranked 5,432^nd in the world and 7^th in Prodigy Corporation for Most Developed, scoring 94.3 on the Human Development Index.
