The People's Communist Republic of Dandeleria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Colonel Augusto Ramirez with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, lack of airports, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.992 billion Dandelerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norakocha. The income tax rate is 100%.

The large but stagnant Dandelerian economy, worth 868 trillion narlas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 51,121 narlas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, and genetic research has been halted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Dandeleria's national animal is the Manorina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of DEAREST LEADER.

Dandeleria is ranked 60,126th in the world and 596th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 761.6325681104 days.
