The 🐦 Kingdom of Debussy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Clancy with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, state-planned economy, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.399 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 Industry. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Debussyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,572 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 major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,180 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All industry is owned and run by the government, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and workers' complaints never reach central planning. 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 28,832nd in the world and 369th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 1,387.21787606888 days.
