The Empire of Ditgan is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 307 million Ditganians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The thriving Ditganian economy, worth 19.6 trillion Dollarss a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 63,736 Dollarss , but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,965 per year while the poor average 15,339, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Ditgan, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, moonshine has made a resurgence, and religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged. Crime is moderate. Ditgan's national animal is the Eagle , which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ditgan is ranked 188,590^th in the world and 305^th in Astoria for Safest, scoring 49.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
