The Rogue Nation of Neo-Deretysm is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 471 million Neo-Derians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Neo-Deretysmian economy, worth 28.8 trillion bussies a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,067 bussies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, and bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Deretysm's national animal is the burmese python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neo-Deretysm is ranked 278,509^th in the world and 581^st in A Taco Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.77 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
