The Republic of Dirgonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 833 million Dirgonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auburn. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dirgonian economy, worth 81.5 trillion Dirgas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,811 Dirgas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dirgonia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dirgonia is ranked 271,032^nd in the world and 506^th in Talonia for Most Patriotic, with 0.74 flags saluted per person per day.
