The Dictatorship of Money for ever is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.269 billion Money for everians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basketville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Money for everian economy, worth 689 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,819 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Basketville, military funding has been stripped back, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Money for ever's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Craze.

Money for ever is ranked 12,323rd in the world and 746th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
