The Protectorate of Dee bright NPO is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.27 billion Dee bright NPOians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dee bright NPOian economy, worth a remarkable 2,085 trillion denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 146,153 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and political candidates must be personally vetted by Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dee bright NPO's national animal is the Franco, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Dee bright NPO is ranked 135,877th in the world and 2,663rd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
