The Republic of DSAT12 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.313 billion DSAT12ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.3%.

The powerhouse DSAT12ian economy, worth 95.2 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,483 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSAT12's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

DSAT12 is ranked 25,690^th in the world and 5^th in DSAT for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,868.64 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
