Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The SociallyNetworkedMetropolis of Diminix is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.765 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dank City. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

The government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, refugees from other nations are flocking to Diminix's border, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diminix's national animal is the michael, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

Diminix is ranked 8th in The Proletariat Coalition and 95,833rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
