The Republic of Dengstan is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 79 million Dengstanians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dengstanian economy, worth 5.37 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,031 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dengstan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dengstan is ranked 49,256^th in the world and 573^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,906.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
