The United Peoples of Dexterra is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.771 billion Dexters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beagalia. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dexter economy, worth a remarkable 2,524 trillion treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 214,435 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that the people wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dexterra's national animal is the beagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unconditional love.

Dexterra is ranked 288,515^th in the world and 3^rd in Dexter for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,084.77 Standard Monetary Units.
