The Democratic Republic of Dentium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Dent with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.047 billion Dentians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dent City. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dentiumian economy, worth 540 trillion notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,474 notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Dent City Times is sold out, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dentium's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dentium is ranked 10,077^th in the world and 30^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
