The Militaristic Dictatiorship of Thaurbog Daestlectia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Preston Meyers with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.077 billion Daestlectians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sorvok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Daestlectian economy, worth 125 trillion Thaurs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 116,682 Thaurs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 543,343 per year while the poor average 15,028, a ratio of 36.2 to 1.

Creative compliance measures ensure that high-ranking officials live in luxury while the country's coffers collect cobwebs, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, third world countries are rich in "I Love Sorvok" t-shirts, and you can tell when Daestlectians are being snarky by the fact their lips are moving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thaurbog Daestlectia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Thaurbog Daestlectia is ranked 179,099^th in the world and 400^th in Concord for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,486.66 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
