The Republic of Dylanana is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.341 billion Dylananans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dylanana DC. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dylananan economy, worth 995 trillion Jakes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 186,418 Jakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dylanana's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

Dylanana is ranked 192,687^th in the world and 8,675^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -8.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
