The Ever-Shifting Tides of Dyllypoly is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 959 million Dyllians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuevo Anor. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Dyllic economy, worth 26.9 trillion Pels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery. Average income is 28,060 Pels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dyllypoly's national animal is the Stoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dyllypoly is ranked 203,607^th in the world and 5,715^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 16.3 billion Standard Monetary Units.
