The Federation of Dutch Socialist States is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Karel Huissen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.333 billion Dutchmen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Dutch economy, worth 71.9 trillion Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Average income is 53,936 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, only adults may purchase violent video games, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Karel Huissen. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dutch Socialist States's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dutch Socialist States is ranked 276,835th in the world and 418th in Crimson Spire for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 667.41 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
