The Holy green egg-hunter of Devious is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by devi with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 7.07 billion Deviousians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.8%.

The powerhouse Deviousian economy, worth 492 trillion monies a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,653 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Devious Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, and "Day of the Rope" is the top song of the summer. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Devious's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Devious is ranked 285,993^rd in the world and 184^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
