The Republic of Deep-Dive Deep is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.389 billion Deep-Dive Deepians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The Deep-Dive Deepian economy, worth 56.1 trillion stardusts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,354 stardusts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,308 per year while the poor average 6,446, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, and the government has outlawed extremist parties. Crime is a problem. Deep-Dive Deep's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Deep-Dive Deep is ranked 295,784^th in the world and 1^st in Deep Dive Deep for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.34 Effective Tax Rate.
