The Allied States of Didymmos is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10 million Didymmosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Didymmosian economy, worth 82.9 billion Asters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,292 Asters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Didymmos's national animal is the Aster.

Didymmos is ranked 234,169^th in the world and 47^th in Asteroid Belt for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 151.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
