The Federal Republic of Dioswania is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.362 billion Dioswanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casaroja. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dioswanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,831 trillion Pesos 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an amazing 220,676 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up', Dioswanians struggle to cut steak with a spoon, there's always a Bigtopian willing to eat President's table scraps, and people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dioswania's national animal is the Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Dioswania is ranked 65,170^th in the world and 732^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,789.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
