The Holy Empire of Determined Nation is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Billy with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.301 billion Determined Nationians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utica. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Determined Nationian economy, worth 130 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,376 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Vacationing Determined Nationians expect to be treated as royalty, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, and for 25 dollars tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Determined Nation's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Determined Nation is ranked 220,627^th in the world and 8,771^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 6.75 Obesity Rate.
