The Republic of Dimmersun is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.136 billion Dimmersunians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.9%.

The powerhouse Dimmersunian economy, worth 501 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,164 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,199 per year while the poor average 11,606, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dimmersun's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Dimmersun is ranked 88,426^th in the world and 10^th in Dimmersun for Most Developed, scoring 64.8 on the Human Development Index.
