The Splendiferous Kingdom of Decembria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King REDACTED with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.633 billion Decembrians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallantry. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Decembrian economy, worth 158 trillion gems a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,033 gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decembria's national animal is the kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Decembria is ranked 114,621^st in the world and 45^th in Catholic for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 145,878 Standard Monetary Units.
