The State of Dio Vindice is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.198 billion Dio Vindiceans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The thriving Dio Vindicean economy, worth 668 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 24,597 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a serious problem. Dio Vindice's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dio Vindice is ranked 201,491^st in the world and 1^st in Nouakchott for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring zero on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
