The Democratic States of IDIC is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 43.322 billion IDICians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish IDICian economy, worth 910 trillion quantifiers a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 21,008 quantifiers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IDIC's national animal is the selot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

IDIC is ranked 70,771st in the world and 2nd in Vulcan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
