The Benevolent Queendom of Divine Cervine is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Arbeaone with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.532 billion Divine Deerlings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enchanted Wildwood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Divine Cervinean economy, worth a remarkable 8,125 trillion ¤ luminous orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 416,034 ¤ luminous orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, supervisors in Divine Cervine commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divine Cervine's national animal is the iridescent-winged purple peryton, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Divine Cervine is ranked 8^th in the world and 1^st in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 17,948.32 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
