The Principality of GeDePa is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Pa population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.778 billion GeDePans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The strong GeDePan economy, worth a remarkable 1,466 trillion Des a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,260 Des, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GeDePa's national animal is the Pa.

GeDePa is ranked 155,985^th in the world and 22^nd in Eastern Roman Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
