The Commonwealth of Decrosca is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, triple-decker prams, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 232 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 14.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Decroscan economy, worth 22.1 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 95,357 Simoleons, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Any girl that shows an interest in Lego is pressured to study engineering, young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, 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 4,829^th in the world and 93^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,937.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
