The Republic of Dicus Drut is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.671 billion Dicus Drutians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Dicus Drutian economy, worth 71.6 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,829 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Museums offer moralization or your money back, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, you're only as old as you feel, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dicus Drut's national animal is the aplix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dicus Drut is ranked 277,447^th in the world and 1,949^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 403.14 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
