The Republic of Dedano is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.293 billion Dedanoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Dedanoan economy, worth 60.4 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,693 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,364 per year while the poor average 10,976, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dedano's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dedano is ranked 197,714^th in the world and 3,835^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 1.29 billion capita.
