The Empire of Dino Ranch is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Pa with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.059 billion Dinero are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cassidy. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dino-riffic economy, worth 327 trillion Teamworks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 107,016 Teamworks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and t-shirts displaying a photo of Pa performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dino Ranch's national animal is the Raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Self-Sustained Western-Style Ranch.

Dino Ranch is ranked 180,801^st in the world and 1,948^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 88.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
