The Commonwealth of Distributiona is a small, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 45 million Distributionans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The powerhouse Distributionan economy, worth 3.01 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,833 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,126 per year while the poor average 15,095, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Hospitals have poor data security but send lots of bodies to be encrypted, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Distributiona's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Distributiona is ranked 289,870th in the world and 93rd in Portugal for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 223.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
