The 🐦 Kingdom of Debussy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.34 billion Lazarenes 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,558 trillion Banks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,703 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, glamping Lazarenes won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and foreigners write "made in Debussy" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debussy's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Debussy is ranked 3,811th in the world and 209th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 123.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
