The Republic of Dylanana is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 3.596 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 Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dylanana DC. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dylananan economy, worth 654 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. Average income is an impressive 181,955 Jakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, faithful allies are always valued, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community. 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 13,132^nd in the world and 659^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
