The Highland Soviet Federation of Dylan Murdoch is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Premier Ringo Starr with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, soft-spoken computers, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.55 billion Dylan Murdochians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruadgrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dylan Murdochian economy, worth a remarkable 5,159 trillion Pluds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,404 Pluds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, the government is spending serious cheddar protecting sewer rats, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and the government is proudly free of crabs. Crime is totally unknown. Dylan Murdoch's national animal is the Haggis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vinlandism.

Dylan Murdoch is ranked 594^th in the world and 2^nd in Communitas for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 162.32 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
