The United Communes of Dyl is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.113 billion Dylians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dylian economy, worth 272 trillion Denars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,939 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime is totally unknown. Dyl's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dyl is ranked 236,612^th in the world and 434^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -400.34 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
