The Republic of Diastathica is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.364 billion Diastathicans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Diastathican economy, worth 743 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 138,575 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, commemoration of the Great Cainitium War costs almost as much as the war itself, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diastathica's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Diastathica is ranked 35,152nd in the world and 82nd in Cainitium for Smartest Citizens, with 49.16 quips per hour.
