Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Mandalorian Republic of Denivogar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.497 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Military spending is on the increase, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-flexica mansions, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Denivogar's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the flexica.

Denivogar is ranked 66th in Stargate and 99,300th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
