The United Republic of Deutronesia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hastungkara Pranatabawana with an even hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.785 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 Commerce, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palangkaraya. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Information Technology.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deutronesia's national animal is the Orang Utan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is 6 Official Religions, and its currency is the Swarda.

Deutronesia is ranked 214th in The North Pacific and 6,559th in the world for Longest Average Lifespans, scoring 30 on the Enoch Index.
