The Commonwealth of Decrosca is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 250 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Decroscan economy, worth 24.0 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 96,116 Simoleons, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The most common answers to where babies come from are "uh... ask your mother" and "um... ask your father", women find themselves saying "my eyes are up here" more often than they used to, it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Decrosca's national animal is the Cockroach, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Decrosca is ranked 235,588^th in the world and 4,488^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 684.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
