The Funeral of Dih Cheney is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dih Cheney himself with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.048 billion Cheneys are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Time. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.

The strong Cheneyian economy, worth 112 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 54,465 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dih Cheney has designated Big Time as its capital city, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, and Dih Cheney himself has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Dih Cheney's national animal is the patriot missile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dih Cheney is ranked 178,961^st in the world and 95^th in Sun Tzu the Art of War for Most Developed, scoring 54.13 on the Human Development Index.
