The Benevolent Queendom of Divine Cervine is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Arbeaone with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.444 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 8,077 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 and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 415,422 ¤ luminous orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the official Divine Cervinean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. 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 12th in the world and 1st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 426.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
