The People's Republic of De Yuan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xi Jingyi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.586 billion De Yuanians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shanghan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.2%.

The strong De Yuanian economy, worth 75.5 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,572 Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,116 per year while the poor average 9,999, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, parking's carefree without parking car fees, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, and summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De Yuan's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

De Yuan is ranked 20,698^th in the world and 11^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 11.72 Bank.
