The Sacred Imperial States of Denado is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Arzejus of Hälej-Seßülia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.633 billion Denadens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ördfaldtin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dinaden economy, worth a remarkable 1,722 trillion Dinesmärches a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,361 Dinesmärches, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and minstrels carrying coconut shells provide sound effects wherever their nobles wander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Denado's national animal is the Luckstpfaratti, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Denado is ranked 47,257^th in the world and 1,390^th in Lazarus for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 73.26 Workforce Participation Rate.
