The Dominion of Dengong is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 8.126 billion Dengongians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The Dengongian economy, worth 325 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,084 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dengong's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Dengong is ranked 97,588^th in the world and 1^st in Deadlands for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.2 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
