The Dictatorship of The Great Mother Night is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Great Mother with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.735 billion Children of Night are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Den. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient a Child of Night economy, worth a remarkable 3,587 trillion Silverlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 157,775 Silverlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, foreign leaders are advising that The Great Mother's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Mother Night's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is One Great Mother of All.

The Great Mother Night is ranked 9,028th in the world and 4th in The Free Nations Region for Largest Populations, with 22.7 billion capita.
