The Republic of Dihs is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 124 million hehehes are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Dihsian economy, worth 8.58 trillion euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 69,155 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,622 per year while the poor average 18,235, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Museums offer moralization or your money back, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dihs's national animal is the lion.

Dihs is ranked 55,925^th in the world and 136^th in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 13.3 Obesity Rate.
