The Cuteness of Holy Dolphins is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by A Giant Statue of a Dolphin with an even hand, and notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 18.912 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a pineapple under the sea. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Holy Dolphins's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Dolphins's national animal is the Sacred Omnipotent Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Fish R Us, and its currency is the Dried Kelp.

Holy Dolphins is ranked 3rd in panda and 40,669th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 21 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
