The Void of Dustwind is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dusty Dustican with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.655 billion Dustwindians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palace of Dust. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dustwindian economy, worth an astonishing 13,244 trillion gold dusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 432,066 gold dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Dustwind's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sufferology.

Dustwind is ranked 94,973rd in the world and 164th in 10000 Islands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,074.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
