The Dictaea Founder of Compassionate Isolate is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrMoon with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.424 billion Compassionate Isolateans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Social Policy, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Compassionate Isolatean economy, worth a remarkable 3,507 trillion Pebbles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 104,935 Pebbles, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, there are no minimum wage laws, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Compassionate Isolate's national animal is the Sand Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compassionate Isolate is ranked 1,772^nd in the world and 1^st in Dictaea for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 163.07 on the Hayek Index.
