The Most Handsome Array of Dingbats is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Brownian Motion with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, conspicuous electricity pylons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.688 billion Dingbats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Airport Ramada. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dingbat economy, worth a remarkable 7,768 trillion doglegs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 358,212 doglegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and Brownian Motion has been known to make speeches in fishing waders. Crime is totally unknown. Dingbats's national animal is the earthworm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dingbats is ranked 285th in the world and 7th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 138.51 average smiles per day.
