The Angry Southern Federation of Dernel is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santino Tentatellhi with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.301 billion Dernellians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illaria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dernelian economy, worth a remarkable 3,444 trillion Dernellian Blunts a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 370,301 Dernellian Blunts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,561,332 per year while the poor average 56,906, a ratio of 27.4 to 1.

The government has become increasingly militant, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Dernelian restaurants, the only place where one can see the Dernelian cherry tree is in a museum, and it turns out that your missing Roomba has run off to join the circus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dernel's national animal is the Armadillo Girdled Lizard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Dernel is ranked 229,827th in the world and 6,914th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 25.1683519478 days.
