The Republic of Dip is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.157 billion twinks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 64.8%.

The frighteningly efficient twink economy, worth 661 trillion Dips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,456 Dips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, and war vets look after war animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dip's national animal is the Rock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skibidi.

Dip is ranked 268,390^th in the world and 218^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Safest, scoring 20.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
