Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Notably Aggressive of Dephire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Renuvian Skragg with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.525 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as the Environment and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galva. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the government has enacted freedom of information, and students cut up leftover Briskes during Arts and Crafts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dephire's national animal is the Bra'tul, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Mixed, and its currency is the Briske.

Dephire is ranked 35th in Gholgoth and 65,204th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 9 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
