The National Park of Desero is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.235 billion Deseroans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Las Vegas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Deseroan economy, worth 198 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,478 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 413,254 per year while the poor average 3,418, a ratio of 120 to 1.

Phenotypic plasticity is a struggle for sealife in polluted waters, the government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, and much of Desero's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Desero's national animal is the Ox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Desero is ranked 232,762^nd in the world and 93^rd in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 179.28 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
