The Republic of Desheria is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.155 billion Desherians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astralenix. The average income tax rate is 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Desherian economy, worth 227 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,584 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, international tensions are high as Desheria threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Desheria's national animal is the axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Desheria is ranked 64,032^nd in the world and 118^th in The League for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,026.24 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
