The D of D of Derilla is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by D with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.822 billion Derillans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of D. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Derillan economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion Nerds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,059 Nerds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Incompetent former soldiers have been re-employed as incompetent cleaners and kitchen staff, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Derilla's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Derilla is ranked 15,174^th in the world and 84^th in Nerdlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
