The Grand Duchy of Dewqur is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kimi Dewquarian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, triple-decker prams, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.257 billion Dewqurians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kessel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Dewqurian economy, worth 151 trillion Dewqueens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,754 Dewqueens, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 686,942 per year while the poor average 10,333, a ratio of 66.5 to 1.
Citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Dewqur as a reminder of their "special relationship", and Calvinball training often involves digging escape tunnels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dewqur's national animal is the Emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dewquarianism.
Dewqur is ranked 85,090th in the world and 103rd in The Brotherhood of Malice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
