The Sublimely Grand Duchy of Dictat is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Duke Theophilius II de Grandcomté with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.521 billion Dictatians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagraine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Dictatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion Dictatian Pounds 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 287,898 Dictatian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, computers are used primarily for word processing and solitaire, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dictat's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Veneration of the Supreme Chancellor.
Dictat is ranked 81,362nd in the world and 10th in Merciam for Most Stationary, with 595.1243066202 days.
