The Republic of Derkburg is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The President of Federal Council with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.546 billion Derkburgians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Derkburgian economy, worth 851 trillion Derks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,022 Derks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, rumor has it that The President of Federal Council has won three lotteries in a row, and protestors are soaking piles of Derks in blood to make a point about government incomes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Derkburg's national animal is the Alexander's owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Derkburg is ranked 144,733rd in the world and 3,088th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 181.29771730272 days.
