The Kingdom of Depthonia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 192 million Depthonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Depthonian economy, worth 12.4 trillion fish a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,578 fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, Depthonia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound. Crime is totally unknown. Depthonia's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
