The Dictatorship of Artschooldropout is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 56 million Artschooldropoutians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Artschooldropoutian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Reichsmarks 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 26,867 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors, government doublethinkers have declared that voting is slavery, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Heraldic eagleball fields, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artschooldropout's national animal is the Heraldic eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Artschooldropout is ranked 34,225^th in the world and 16^th in Byzantion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 841.88 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
