Nation/Dytarma

The Imperial State of Dytarma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Malcolm Stolarz with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.067 billion Dytarmen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhana. The average income tax rate is 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dytarmen economy, worth 319 trillion Dyts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 154,555 Dyts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, they say that Malcolm Stolarz's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Rhana's playgrounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dytarma's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
