The Community of Dispatch is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 19.752 billion Dispatchians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The thriving Dispatchian economy, worth a remarkable 1,181 trillion letters a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,836 letters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,803 per year while the poor average 12,205, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dispatch's national animal is the news.

Dispatch is ranked 120,427th in the world and 56th in Middle Earth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 882.45 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
