The Dominion of Dericho is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dustio with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.347 billion Derichoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dherul. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Derichoan economy, worth 202 trillion Deris a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,384 Deris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, replacement organs are grown in vats, and being dead no longer has any benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dericho's national animal is the Stag Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Dericho is ranked 4,337^th in the world and 99^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,932.36 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
