The Socialist Republic of Desinec is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josip Kunivić with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 1.178 billion Desinecians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Podhumlje. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Desinecian economy, worth 109 trillion Kunas a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,980 Kunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, the state aims to prevent terrorism by committing acts of terror against suspected aggressors, and the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desinec's national animal is the Marten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Desinec is ranked 61,940^th in the world and 717^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 637.99 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
