The Federal Republic of Deneob is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord Norm with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 22.195 billion Deneobites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deluros. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deneobican economy, worth a remarkable 6,360 trillion Fuzzlongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,591 Fuzzlongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, foreign workers are flooding in as Fuzzlongs flood out, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deneob's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Way.

Deneob is ranked 10,521^st in the world and 491^st in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,493.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
