The Federal Republic of Devirah is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chrisjen Avasarala with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.652 billion Devirahns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aingil. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Devirahn economy, worth 158 trillion Autos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,853 Autos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and discarded pennies litter the streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devirah's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Devirah is ranked 23,485^th in the world and 5^th in Red Autumn for Most Secular, with 40.11 Atheism Rate.
