The Kingdom of Ditcherland is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 45 million Ditcherlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The strong Ditcherlandian economy, worth 2.62 trillion Tricolors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 58,317 Tricolors, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and pinkie promises are a matter of life and death. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ditcherland's national animal is the Tubarão.

Ditcherland is ranked 147,637^th in the world and 688^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 56.24 on the Human Development Index.
