The Della-cacies of DD is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.953 billion DDians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.5%.

The frighteningly efficient DDian economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,494 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The only Maxxmas gift frontline troops receive from officers is a bullet with the enemy's name on it, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DD's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

DD is ranked 42,872nd in the world and 2,665th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
