Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied City-States of Dextriva is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Council of Nine with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.079 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostrheinsburg. The average income tax rate is 69%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Tourism.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, Osprey is one of the most popular forenames in Dextriva, military spending is on the increase, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime is totally unknown. Dextriva's national animal is the Osprey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Priesthood of Mars, and its currency is the Denier.

Dextriva is ranked 311th in The East Pacific and 12,317th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 31 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
