The Federal Republic of Detrivania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Justin Miles with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.431 billion Detrivanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Education, with Environment, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Detrivanian economy, worth 282 trillion lunas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,962 lunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, birth announcements often also serve as death announcements, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Detrivania's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Detrivania is ranked 223,566^th in the world and 10,057^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
