The Neutral Democratic States of Derlanunited is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Derlanunited with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.733 billion Derlanunitedians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United Headquarters. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Derlanunitedian economy, worth 183 trillion uniteds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 106,032 uniteds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 378,661 per year while the poor average 21,335, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Stocks go up when the internet says so, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and the incidence of wrist sprains is falling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Derlanunited's national animal is the 1234567890, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is 0987654321.

Derlanunited is ranked 215,195^th in the world and 6^th in The Tolotai Order for Largest Populations, with 1.73 billion capita.
