The Holy Protectorate of Devoted Decons is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Duke with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 35.564 billion Devoted Deconsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vincestria. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Devoted Deconsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion talents a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,039 talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation", only native-born Devoted Deconsians who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office, little children cry as their rainbow drawings are seized by the Straight-Thought Police, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devoted Decons's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Devoted Decons is ranked 20,630th in the world and 39th in Catholic for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
