The Ranellian Monarchy of Dytarma is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dschuliez III von Bulan with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.27 billion Dytarmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rane. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Dytarmish economy, worth a remarkable 4,587 trillion Dyts a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 251,091 Dyts, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Dytarmish watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, an increasing number of animal species are named 'Bob', Bambi has been banned, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dytarma's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dytarmism.

Dytarma is ranked 288,909^th in the world and 4^th in Solid Kingdom for Nicest Citizens, with 0.23 average smiles per day.
