The United Socialist States of Debia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 40 million Debians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Debian economy, worth 788 billion Ducats 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. 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 19,718 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, motorbike jousters live young and die fast, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Debia is ranked 316,871^st in the world and 1^st in The Commons for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,394.35 Standard Monetary Units.
