The United Kingdom of Deset is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 62 million Desetians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Desetian economy, worth 1.05 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 16,885 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, greased palms have made Leader's office smell like gravy, structures are raised on promises, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deset's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deset is ranked 38,899^th in the world and 197^th in the Outback for Most Secular, with 28.08 Atheism Rate.
