The Federated Socialist States of Dharitara is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Dharitaran Worker's Council with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 5.257 billion Dharitarans 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, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dharmaprastha. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dharitaran economy, worth 876 trillion Dharitaran Rupees 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 166,772 Dharitaran Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dharitara's national animal is the Great Dharitaran Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Dharitara is ranked 4,632^nd in the world and 2^nd in Aurora for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,556.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
