The Principality of Deephalow is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The democratic population of 13.013 billion Deephallowians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Deephalowian economy, worth 472 trillion books a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,276 books, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deephalow's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Deephalow is ranked 150,683^rd in the world and 100^th in ainulindale for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
