The Great Empire of Detran is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Jayme I with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.82 billion Detranians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detranopolis. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Detranian economy, worth a remarkable 1,475 trillion multas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,251 multas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Detran's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Detran is ranked 10,734^th in the world and 585^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 393.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
