The Republic of Dialland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dial Hoang with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.272 billion Diallandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dial. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Diallandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,532 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 227,921 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, anti-government web sites are springing up, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, and movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise. Crime is totally unknown. Dialland's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dialland is ranked 201,823^rd in the world and 24^th in Absolution for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
