The Republic of Dinosaur NM- is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.061 billion Dinosaur NM-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dinosaur NM-ian economy, worth 577 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 142,276 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government agents are triangulating the position of the rainbow's end for the purposes of gold acquisition, politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dinosaur NM-'s national animal is the NPS, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dinosaur NM- is ranked 129,674^th in the world and 61^st in National Monuments of America for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,414.21 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
