The Republic of Dirgonia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 849 million Dirgonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auburn. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dirgonian economy, worth 83.2 trillion Dirgas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,974 Dirgas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dirgonia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dirgonia is ranked 68,540^th in the world and 100^th in Talonia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,503.59 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
