The Acheron Imperium of Dephire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Samael Aeron with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 33.92 billion Acheronites 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 Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Gate. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dephirean economy, worth a remarkable 9,131 trillion Gothics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 269,197 Gothics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Dephirean, wheelchair users complain it is nearly impossible for them to cross the road in Hell's Gate, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dephire's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Dephire is ranked 241,357^th in the world and 17^th in Gholgoth for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4.24 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
