The Free Land of Dver is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 195 million Dverians 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 relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.
The powerhouse Dverian economy, worth 17.0 trillion vakhs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 87,297 vakhs, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
Dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Dver City generates millions of views, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dver's national animal is the tatto's seal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Dver is ranked 198,293rd in the world and 549th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
