The Democratic States of Dinner Blaster is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Harkinian with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.948 billion Dinner Blasterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gamelon City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dinner Blasterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,975 trillion Meme bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 199,306 Meme bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dinner Blaster's national animal is the Criter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dinner Blaster is ranked 1,367th in the world and 51st in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 158.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
