The Holy Empire of Diabeta is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.408 billion Diabetans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Diabetan economy, worth 854 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,306 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Diabeta City skyline, and late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diabeta's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diabeta is ranked 48,103rd in the world and 2,570th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,053.56 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
