The Video Game of Deathmatch Classic is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Valve with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.986 billion Deathmatch Classicians 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 Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 40. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The all-consuming Deathmatch Classician economy, worth 255 trillion 1 June 2001s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 85,716 1 June 2001s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 344,064 per year while the poor average 14,309, a ratio of 24.0 to 1.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Deathmatch Classic's national animal is the Valve, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Death.

Deathmatch Classic is ranked 43,039^th in the world and 1^st in Steam for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,632.83 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
