The Fence-Burning Rabble of Dumb Ideologies is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress DIabolica with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.875 billion DInizens 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DIrusalem. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient DInizen economy, worth a remarkable 4,872 trillion Thonks a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,826 Thonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Empress DIabolica wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dumb Ideologies's national animal is the DIplodocus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is DIsestablishmentarianism.

Dumb Ideologies is ranked 23,582nd in the world and 2nd in Prima Victoria for Most Cultured, scoring 86 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
