The Sovereign Republic of Defero Populus is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Sebastian with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 12.629 billion Deferoians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminara. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Deferoian economy, worth a remarkable 1,475 trillion Verdants a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 116,804 Verdants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defero Populus's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deistic Rationalism.

Defero Populus is ranked 290,763^rd in the world and 75^th in Kerbals of the North for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -43.59 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
