The Devilish Delinquent of Devious is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by santa claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.836 billion Deviousians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Deviousian economy, worth a remarkable 1,170 trillion cashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 108,002 cashes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 912,291 per year while the poor average 2,364, a ratio of 385 to 1.

Retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Devious's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Devious is ranked 154,770^th in the world and 18^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Developed, scoring 55.2 on the Human Development Index.
