The Kingdom of Depthonia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 133 million Depthonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.0%.
The very strong Depthonian economy, worth 8.93 trillion fish a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 67,118 fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime is totally unknown. Depthonia's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Depthonia is ranked 36,279th in the world and 796th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 774.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
