The Kombe-Byira of Deathia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.406 billion Kombe-Byirans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Kombe-Byrian economy, worth 41.0 trillion Skulls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry. Average income is 17,038 Skulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the EXTINCTS of Deathia are surprisingly well-adjusted, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deathia's national animal is the EXTINCT, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deathia is ranked 88,469^th in the world and 556^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 18.37 flags saluted per person per day.
