The Most Serene Republic of Dytase is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.406 billion Dytaseans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.2%.

The all-consuming Dytasean economy, worth 482 trillion karths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,217 karths, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, the Dytasean Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dytase's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Dytase is ranked 54,656^th in the world and 2,399^th in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 76.12 on the Human Development Index.
