The Benevolent Queendom of Divine Cervine is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Arbeaone with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.248 billion Divine Deerlings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enchanted Wildwood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Divine Cervinean economy, worth a remarkable 7,361 trillion ¤ luminous orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 403,404 ¤ luminous orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divine Cervine's national animal is the iridescent-winged purple peryton, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Divine Cervine is ranked 287,475th in the world and 11,088th in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -34.73 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
