The Spooky-Scary Superstate of Dictationapore is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Benji with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.386 billion Dictatians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dictationnati. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dictatian economy, worth a remarkable 6,623 trillion Krónas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 430,486 Krónas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,534,611 per year while the poor average 86,858, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, the comic book series 'Big Benji and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, diaper sales are up, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Dictatian mussels the biggest in One big Island. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dictationapore's national animal is the Tree Squid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dictism.

Dictationapore is ranked 177,197^th in the world and 32^nd in One big Island for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 0.33 on the Hayek Index.
