The State of Digde is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 39.107 billion Digdeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, although Defense, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Digdean economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,537 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Digde's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Digde has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Digde's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Digde is ranked 185,267^th in the world and 363^rd in State for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 212.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
