The Commonwealth of Decrosca is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 281 million Decroscans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sim City. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Decroscan economy, worth 27.6 trillion Simoleons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 98,082 Simoleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police conduct raids on children having snail races, hazmat suits are a common Decroscan garb, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, and a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Decrosca's national animal is the Cockroach, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Decrosca is ranked 23,373rd in the world and 324th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 89.29 kickbacks per hour.
