The Acheron Imperium of Dephire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Samael Aeron with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 40.596 billion Acheronites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Gate. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dephirean economy, worth an astonishing 10,867 trillion Gothics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 267,688 Gothics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Samael Aeron's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dephire's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Dephire is ranked 13,339^th in the world and 7^th in Gholgoth for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,523.38 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
