The Country of Decral is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by James Louis with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 4.526 billion Decralians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ariesfield. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Decralian economy, worth 501 trillion Deloes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,890 Deloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, vehicle strikes into low bridges are on the increase, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, and the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decral's national animal is the Dogs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Decral is ranked 38,987^th in the world and 5^th in The Association of Fellow Nations for Safest, scoring 105.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
