The Dirlandic State of Cottony is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mayor Yoshiko McAdams with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.242 billion Dirlanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuntawillen. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dirlandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,124 trillion kořnëts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,872 kořnëts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, the official Dirlandic Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cottony's national animal is the Dirlandic sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cottony is ranked 256,765th in the world and 8,219th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 16.5728018934 days.
