The Anarcho-Monarchist Realm of Distruzio is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Majesty Titolli di Medici with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.987 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Commerce, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diesel City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail industries.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, corporations are either above the law or corrupting it, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Distruzio's radio stations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Distruzio's national animal is the Cosa Nostra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Bezant.

Distruzio is ranked 3rd in Laissez Faireholm and 5,637th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 58 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
