The Borderlands of Dia Se is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its digital currency, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 1.3 billion Dia Seans 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Dia Sean economy, worth 27.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 21,288 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dia Se's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dia Se is ranked 291,271^st in the world and 12^th in United Right for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,587.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
