The Democratic Republic of -Dummyland- is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 243 million Dummies 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Dummy economy, worth 5.94 trillion Dummy Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,439 Dummy Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, and 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Dummyland-'s national animal is the Loose Wheel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Dummyland- is ranked 290,537^th in the world and 36^th in Right to Life for Most Developed, scoring 47.56 on the Human Development Index.
