The Highland Soviet Federation of Dylan Murdoch is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Premier Ringo Starr with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.259 billion Dylan Murdochians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruadgrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dylan Murdochian economy, worth a remarkable 3,868 trillion Pluds 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 237,927 Pluds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, international television adverts praise the nation as a worker's paradise, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Dylan Murdoch's national animal is the Haggis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vinlandism.

Dylan Murdoch is ranked 1,785^th in the world and 1^st in Vinlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 149.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
