The Most Handsome Array of Dingbats is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Great Magnet with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.406 billion fruit cakes hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Airport Ramada. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient garbage economy, worth a remarkable 5,333 trillion doglegs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 325,107 doglegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Dingbats will pay them to stop, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime is totally unknown. Dingbats's national animal is the rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dingbats is ranked 3,251st in the world and 89th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 128.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
