The Dictatorship of Gidentyrploon is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14 million Gidentyrploonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Gidentyrploonian economy, worth 233 billion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 16,645 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gidentyrploon has the hottest women in the world, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and there's nothing more Gidentyrploonian than revanchism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gidentyrploon's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gidentyrploon is ranked 306,650th in the world and 81st in womp for Highest Average Incomes, with 16,645.54 Standard Monetary Units.
