The Jingoistic States of Devery Tives is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning ladybird population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.785 billion Devery Tivesians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong Devery Tivesian economy, worth 173 trillion kwachas a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,368 kwachas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,876 per year while the poor average 10,239, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun", politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, little girls are in tears as Leader confiscates their pink princess ballgowns, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Devery Tives's national animal is the ladybird.

Devery Tives is ranked 166,667^th in the world and 2,920^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
