The Sovereign Republic of Defero Populus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Sebastian with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 14.006 billion Deferoians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminara. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Deferoian economy, worth a remarkable 1,689 trillion Verdants a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 120,661 Verdants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army's trophy cabinets have gone all-organic, the comic book series 'President Sebastian and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, and President Sebastian spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defero Populus's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deistic Rationalism.

Defero Populus is ranked 771^st in the world and 39^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 8,382.18 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
