The Commonwealth of Derogatopia is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 120 million equals enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Derogatopian economy, worth 1.93 trillion common goods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,087 common goods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Leader's political rallies, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Crime is totally unknown. Derogatopia's national animal is the red wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Derogatopia is ranked 208,284^th in the world and 8^th in UCAZ The CCCCCCCCCCC Autonomous Zone for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 677.74 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
