The Probably Adytus of Debussy is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 14.708 billion Lazarenes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,323 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 157,971 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest, and musicians are often arrested for saying "oh my God". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debussy's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Debussy is ranked 3,164th in the world and 1st in The Red Syndicate for Most Developed, scoring 97.04 on the Human Development Index.
