The Holy Empire of Dezore is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Tsavon VII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 963 million Dezoreans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Spirituality, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Education is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illra. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.

The very strong Dezorean economy, worth 59.4 trillion imperiats a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,658 imperiats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, nudity is frowned upon, it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Dezore's national animal is the alligator, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Dezore is ranked 90,800^th in the world and 120^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 284.01 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
