The Sultanate of Sjoukje Dijkstra is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.134 billion Sjoukje Dijkstrans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.8%.
The Sjoukje Dijkstran economy, worth 57.3 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 50,573 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, war criminals are given full state funerals, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears, and cities in Sjoukje Dijkstra declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings. Crime is moderate. Sjoukje Dijkstra's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
