The Dead Meme of Dekks is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Garfield with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.742 billion Odie Haters are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell. The average income tax rate is 88.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dekksian economy, worth a remarkable 4,862 trillion Lasagnas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 452,647 Lasagnas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The military is plagued with unethical researchers, ladies are meant to gush with enthusiasm if they get a new vacuum cleaner for their birthday, three-year-olds have tantrums because they don't want to be drainage technicians when they grow up, and it turns out that the government can have your guns by prying them out of your warm living hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Dekks's national animal is the Jon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Existential Crisis.

Dekks is ranked 4,109th in the world and 3rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,171.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
