The 🐦 Kingdom of Debussy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.505 billion Lazarenes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,608 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,122 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, and there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debussy's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Debussy is ranked 3,643^rd in the world and 200^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 124.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
