The Oppressed Peoples of The Kiss of DEAT is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 4.492 billion DEAT'd nations are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant DEAT economy, worth 75.3 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,753 Deutsche Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kiss of DEAT's national animal is the white rabbit.

The Kiss of DEAT is ranked 208,290^th in the world and 2,035^th in Ambition for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 287.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
