The Federal Commonwealth of Dicko is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Primarch Dicko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.39 billion Dickoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dickoan economy, worth a remarkable 9,173 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 498,824 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, and the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dicko's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dicko is ranked 305,111th in the world and 5,970th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
