The Republic of Decorative is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.948 billion Decorativeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Decorativean economy, worth 252 trillion Bits a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,894 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decorative's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Decorative is ranked 133,870^th in the world and 375^th in Sunset Shimmer for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,360.99 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
