The United Communes of Dyl is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.785 billion Dylians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dylian economy, worth 228 trillion Denars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,759 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, the children of Dyl are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and edutainment video games are taking Dyl's students to the next level. Crime is totally unknown. Dyl's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dyl is ranked 159,009^th in the world and 154^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Black Market, with 104 billion Standard Monetary Units.
