The Nomadic Peoples of De Eon is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 189 million De Eonians 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, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant De Eonian economy, worth 2.44 trillion derelicts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 12,899 derelicts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine and organized crime are on the rise ever since alcohol was banned, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-derelict treacle machine, and Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De Eon's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

De Eon is ranked 26,432^nd in the world and 678^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 20.14 average smiles per day.
