The United Kingdom of Deagane is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.651 billion Deaganeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Deaganean economy, worth a remarkable 1,982 trillion Latinums 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, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 205,407 Latinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deagane's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deagane is ranked 8,439^th in the world and 483^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
