The Gay Chillroom of Dendrobium is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Primus Inter Pares with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.631 billion Kittycats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dendrobium Amplium. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Dendrobiumian economy, worth 759 trillion nobiles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 88,018 nobiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Primus Inter Pares is a silly poophead, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and every school is receiving a brand new eraser. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dendrobium's national animal is the kbity, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Godsinianism.

Dendrobium is ranked 326,274^th in the world and 328^th in Aesica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
