The Benevolent Queendom of Divine Cervine is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Arbeaone with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.797 billion Divine Deerlings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enchanted Wildwood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Divine Cervinean economy, worth a remarkable 8,918 trillion ¤ luminous orbs 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 428,823 ¤ luminous orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, Queen Arbeaone's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and Queen Arbeaone's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divine Cervine's national animal is the iridescent-winged purple peryton, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Divine Cervine is ranked 49th in the world and 2nd in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 99.46 Atheism Rate.
