The Apostles of Decency is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Pope Decere IV with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.623 billion Apostles of Decency 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DecenCity. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Decent economy, worth 57.8 trillion manus a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,617 manus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, women who display their ankles are shunned by society, and the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decency's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Decency is ranked 273,884^th in the world and 1^st in The Decent Never Die for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,560.23 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
