The Many Sleepless Nights Later of Depresso is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.347 billion Depressoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.7%.

The powerhouse Depressoan economy, worth 431 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,306 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,066 per year while the poor average 19,433, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

Politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, programmers often reinvent the wheel, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Depresso's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Depresso is ranked 239,262nd in the world and 19th in Rejected Cards for Safest, scoring 36.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
