The Unpredictable Chaostocracy of Dodecahedria is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Croupier with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.127 billion 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 government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Some Random Village. The average income tax rate is 18%. 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.

Calling out of the blue has become taboo, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime, and the nation is completely gun-free. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Dodecahedria's national animal is the flipping bird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Tyche, and its currency is the polyhedron.

Dodecahedria is ranked 1st in Random and 9,444th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 39 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
