The United Socialist States of Demblention is a very large, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 126 million Demblentionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Demblentionian economy, worth 3.84 trillion marks a year, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,445 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demblention's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Demblention is ranked 244,376^th in the world and 804^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
