The Federal Republic of Dethera is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 485 million Detherans 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 large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Detheran economy, worth 42.8 trillion Gold Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 88,236 Gold Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dethera's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dethera is ranked 26,242^nd in the world and 523^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,924.54 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
