The Probably Feux of Debussy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 11.833 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 1,876 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 158,622 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Lazarenes, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. 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 21,340th in the world and 27th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Average Incomes, with 158,622.02 Standard Monetary Units.
