The Republic of Dialland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dial Hoang with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.263 billion Diallandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dial. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Diallandian economy, worth a remarkable 7,432 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 245,588 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', being Dial Hoang has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, and Dial Hoang's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime is totally unknown. Dialland's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dialland is ranked 15,760^th in the world and 7^th in Absolution for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,044.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
