The Nomadic Peoples of Depaysement is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.922 billion Depaysementians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.6%.

The strong Depaysementian economy, worth 233 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,540 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Career advisors ask sociopathic orphan girls if they have considered becoming professional assassins, girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Depaysement's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Depaysement is ranked 261,166^th in the world and 1^st in Hawaiian Islands for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 486.13 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
