The Republic of Dreadful Death is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 5.477 billion Dreadful Deathians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Dreadful Deathian economy, worth 310 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,697 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,012 per year while the poor average 7,051, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Dreadful Death's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Dreadful Death is ranked 92,037^th in the world and 1,235^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 24.63 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
