The Principality of GeDePa is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Pa population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.864 billion GeDePans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The strong GeDePan economy, worth a remarkable 1,471 trillion Des a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,260 Des, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GeDePa's national animal is the Pa.

GeDePa is ranked 153,153^rd in the world and 30^th in Eastern Roman Empire for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 683.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
