The People's Republic of North Dyninia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Directory with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.334 billion North Dyninians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Better Dynin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.8%.

The frighteningly efficient North Dyninian economy, worth 478 trillion bitcredits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 143,410 bitcredits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 714,207 per year while the poor average 16,251, a ratio of 43.9 to 1.

Online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, the police double as repo men, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Dyninia's national animal is the muskrat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Dyninia is ranked 301,380^th in the world and 9^th in Estanova for Nicest Citizens, with 0.42 average smiles per day.
