The Ranellian Monarchy of Dytarma is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dschuliez III von Bulan with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.264 billion Dytarmen 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 Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rane. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dytarmish economy, worth a remarkable 4,568 trillion Dyts a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 250,156 Dyts, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

International trade can be a pain to deal with, workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dytarma's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dytarmism.

Dytarma is ranked 293,274^th in the world and 4^th in Solid Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
