The God's Chosen Nation of Dictationapore is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mister Roboto with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.251 billion Dictatians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dictationnati. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dictatian economy, worth an astonishing 11,723 trillion Big Ones a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 504,199 Big Ones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, citizens who inform on their neighbors can trade government "loyalty points" for food and other prizes, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dictationapore's national animal is the Tree Squid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dictism.

Dictationapore is ranked 34,354^th in the world and 9^th in One big Island for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,205.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
