The Republic of Dispatchistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.166 billion Dispatchis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Dispatchistani economy, worth 648 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,743 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,689 per year while the poor average 13,636, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dispatchistan's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dispatchistan is ranked 125,741st in the world and 16th in Dispatchia for Most Primitive, scoring -33.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
