The Militarized State of Dat Countreh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dat Leedur with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, vat-grown people, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.372 billion Engineers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dat Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dat Countrehian economy, worth an astonishing 10,123 trillion Ration Stamps 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 496,952 Ration Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, vacationing Engineers expect to be treated as royalty, and where there's smoke there's the Dat Countrehian Forestry Department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dat Countreh's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Engineering.

Dat Countreh is ranked 293,854th in the world and 1,327th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
