The Heroic Tales of Deedlit is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.134 billion Deedlitians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Deedlitian economy, worth 348 trillion Sils a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,865 Sils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Leader can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, citizens must pay to enjoy Deedlit's pristine beaches, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deedlit's national animal is the Mirin Bunny, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deedlit is ranked 248,098^th in the world and 4^th in The Cursed Continent of Lodoss for Most Primitive, scoring -145.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
