The District of Divine Rite is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Liard with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.676 billion Divine Ritiens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Divine Ritean economy, worth 108 trillion districtas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,773 districtas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Divine Rite has designated District City as its capital city, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, the government pours millions of districtas into rehabilitation programs annually, and Liard has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divine Rite's national animal is the quick pink fox.

Divine Rite is ranked 323,364^th in the world and 1^st in Purgatory for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 174.81 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
