The Dictatorship of Dilec is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 5 million Dilecians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The basket case Dilecian economy, worth 32.9 billion Cyns 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 6,579 Cyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dilec's national animal is the Firefly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Dilec is ranked 29,283rd in the world and 11th in RPS for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.53 Effective Tax Rate.
