The People's Republic of Peoples Republic of Devonshire is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 485 million Peoples Republic of Devonshireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Peoples Republic of Devonshirean economy, worth 20.9 trillion Labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,120 Labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, PROD-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, typing Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoples Republic of Devonshire's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peoples Republic of Devonshire is ranked 278,420th in the world and 1,207th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 0.57 flags saluted per person per day.
