The Dictatorship of Money for ever is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.358 billion Money for everians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basketville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Money for everian economy, worth 701 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,918 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Basketville, military funding has been stripped back, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Money for ever's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Craze.

Money for ever is ranked 19,290th in the world and 1,344th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 103.07 kickbacks per hour.
