The Heroic Tales of Deedlit is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.389 billion Deedlitians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Deedlitian economy, worth 565 trillion Sils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 88,551 Sils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, scientists are not permitted to ask questions, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deedlit's national animal is the Mirin Bunny, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deedlit is ranked 70,043^rd in the world and 6^th in The Cursed Continent of Lodoss for Highest Average Incomes, with 88,551.24 Standard Monetary Units.
