The United Socialist States of Degrham is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Honorable Mr Hicks with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 22.409 billion Degrhamians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sidhartha. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Degrhamian economy, worth a remarkable 2,336 trillion Degs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,253 Degs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most ambassadors from Degrham retire only a few years after being appointed, parents dread their examinations more than their children, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, and pros are the new cons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Degrham's national animal is the Grizzly bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Degrham is ranked 16,547^th in the world and 989^th in Osiris for Most Secular, with 74.3 Atheism Rate.
