The Probably Feux of Debussy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 12.103 billion Lazarenes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,926 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 159,135 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Debussyian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debussy's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
Debussy is ranked 217,087th in the world and 400th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 333 billion Standard Monetary Units.
