The Republic of Dizzy Gillespie is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 818 million Dizzy Gillespieans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The all-consuming Dizzy Gillespiean economy, worth 49.4 trillion Dizzies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,348 Dizzies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,731 per year while the poor average 8,773, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

People forget to eat because they are too busy singing Leader's praises, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dizzy Gillespie's national animal is the Gillespie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dizzy Gillespie is ranked 5,179th in the world and 28th in Artificial Solar System for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 39.58 missed references per hour.
