The Protectorate of Dilberdyn is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, digital currency, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.636 billion Dilberdynians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The thriving Dilberdynian economy, worth 348 trillion francs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 52,504 francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,358 per year while the poor average 5,085, a ratio of 55.5 to 1.

Tax avoidance is a serious affair, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dilberdyn's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dilberdyn is ranked 2,584^th in the world and 10^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Armed, with 15.23 weapons per person.
