The Commonwealth of Derogatopia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 16 million equals enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Derogatopian economy, worth 266 billion common goods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,625 common goods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime is totally unknown. Derogatopia's national animal is the red wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Derogatopia is ranked 317,241^st in the world and 18^th in UCAZ The CCCCCCCCCCC Autonomous Zone for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
