Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Interstellar Empire of Dimoniquid is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Josh Barron with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.218 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luisiano. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, criminals are thrown to the eagles to repay their debt to society, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and guns are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dimoniquid's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Buddhism, and its currency is the pound.

Dimoniquid is ranked 66th in The Milky Way Galaxy and 56,777th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 8 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
