The Card Kingdom of Debussy is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Clancy with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.111 billion Lazarenes enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth 631 trillion Banks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,623 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, vanity is the constant enemy of dignity, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and many in Debussy are born in the purple. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 13,784^th in the world and 743^rd in Lazarus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 6,482.55 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
