The United Socialist States of Dutch Commune is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 14.747 billion Dutch Communeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Dutch Communean economy, worth 637 trillion Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,231 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and the children of Dutch Commune are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dutch Commune's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dutch Commune is ranked 127,030^th in the world and 4,963^rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 18.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
