The Republic of Desuet is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.814 billion Desuetians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freeport. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Desuetian economy, worth 754 trillion DDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,804 DDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, you can't spell society without CIS, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Desuet's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Desuet is ranked 21,980^th in the world and 18^th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 156,804.29 Standard Monetary Units.
