The Socialist Empire of East Deslang is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Huangpu Fenglei with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, fear of technology, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.397 billion Deslangians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Badasahira. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deslangian economy, worth 882 trillion ED-Marks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 amazing 259,854 ED-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, children play a simplified version of hopscotch, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Deslang's national animal is the White Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Apostolic Cult.

East Deslang is ranked 289,382nd in the world and 10,171st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3.17352574672 days.
