The People's Republic of Divinci is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Divinci's national animal is the praying mantis and its currency is the stone.
