The Serene Highland Bluffs of Dest Oritio is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Brian O'Hare with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, conspicuous electricity pylons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.213 billion Dest Oritioats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Destro. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dest Oritian economy, worth a remarkable 3,953 trillion Jams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 259,883 Jams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, Brian O'Hare is called 'Patches' at international summits, and unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave. Crime is totally unknown. Dest Oritio's national animal is the Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Haretic.

Dest Oritio is ranked 29,190^th in the world and 95^th in Forest for Largest Populations, with 15.2 billion capita.
