The Federation of Devone is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sahdev Kapasiya with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.85 billion Devonis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Listeg. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Devonik economy, worth 417 trillion Fitoors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,085 Fitoors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, Listeg's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, it is universally agreed that the first 31 issues are the only ones with humor and charm (Devone has found 2 easter eggs), and some of the country's most famous photographers are animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Devone's national animal is the Kaga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Devone is ranked 65,952nd in the world and 3,013th in Balder for Safest, scoring 96.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
