The State of DCLXVI6 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.977 billion DCLXVI6ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The very strong DCLXVI6ian economy, worth 278 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 25,404 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, DCLXVI6 has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of DCLXVI6 in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. DCLXVI6's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DCLXVI6 is ranked 252,928^th in the world and 57^th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
