The Commonwealth of Decrosca is a huge, safe nation, notable for its closed borders, digital currency, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 299 million Decroscans 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sim City. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Decroscan economy, worth 28.8 trillion Simoleons 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 96,414 Simoleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, the idiom 'there are plenty of fish in the sea' isn't so reassuring to Decroscans, and a speech a day keeps climate change away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Decrosca's national animal is the Cockroach, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Decrosca is ranked 268,782nd in the world and 4,694th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
