The Democratic Republic of Decus Maxi is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.572 billion Decus Maxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Decus Maxian economy, worth 261 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,128 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, Decus Maxi's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decus Maxi's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Decus Maxi is ranked 229,737^th in the world and 8,617^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,079.84 Standard Monetary Units.
