The Federal Commonwealth of Dicko is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Primarch Dicko with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.609 billion Dickoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dickoan economy, worth an astonishing 12,462 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 551,211 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dicko's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dicko is ranked 1,012th in the world and 24th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,266.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
