The Federation of Dialectica is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nave Nedla with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.893 billion Dialecticans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verbany. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dialectican economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion vernas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,709 vernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, Nave Nedla's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dialectica's national animal is the centaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dialectica is ranked 239,647^th in the world and 191^st in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -21.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
