The Kingdom of Depressing Feelings is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Piper Anne Gonzales with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.668 billion Depressing Feelingsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anxiety Ville. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Depressing Feelingsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion Curries a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,300 Curries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Depressing Feelingsians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Depressing Feelings's national animal is the Puppy-Monkey-Baby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ADHDism.

Depressing Feelings is ranked 164,671st in the world and 6,708th in Balder for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 800.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
