The People's Republic of Dilwyn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lucy Alman with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.216 billion Dilwynians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dylemin. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Dilwynian economy, worth 887 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 210,535 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, newspapers are celebrating Lucy Alman saving over a million cats from trees, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dilwyn's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dilwyn is ranked 1,774^th in the world and 6^th in Refugia for Smartest Citizens, with 200.2 quips per hour.
