The Void of Dustwind is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dusty Dustican with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, vat-grown people, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.738 billion Dustwindians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palace of Dust. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dustwindian economy, worth an astonishing 12,421 trillion gold dusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 432,222 gold dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Scorpion', colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Dustwindian Liberator", worrywarts have started advocating for a paint ban, and Dustwindians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dustwind's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sufferology.

Dustwind is ranked 14,839th in the world and 189th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
