The Void of Dustwind is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dusty Dustican with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.098 billion Dustwindians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palace of Dust. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dustwindian economy, worth an astonishing 14,349 trillion gold dusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 420,819 gold dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, oranges have been renamed to avoid trademark infringement, it's hard to speak ill of the dead when you don't speak of them at all, and record executives compete over space on buskers' setlists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Dustwind's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sufferology.

Dustwind is ranked 166th in the world and 2nd in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 96.12 Obesity Rate.
