The Dictatorship of Betterthenyou69 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.178 billion Betterthenyou69ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Healthcare and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Betterthenyou69ian economy, worth 206 trillion dogecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,663 dogecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Leader in ermine and velvet garb, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and baby clothes aren't the only things parents are choosing off the rack. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Betterthenyou69's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Betterthenyou69 is ranked 128,361st in the world and 6,347th in Balder for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
