The Dictatorship of Distopius is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 762 million Distopiusians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.3%.

The strong Distopiusian economy, worth 41.2 trillion tears a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,003 tears, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Mouldy bread is served as an appetizer in many restaurants, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, and Leader has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Distopius's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Distopius is ranked 286,175th in the world and 242nd in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
