The Protectorate of Diplomatic Center is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 56 million Diplomatic Centerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Diplomatic Centerian economy, worth 591 billion rubles 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 10,568 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diplomatic Center's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Diplomatic Center is ranked 277,237^th in the world and 1^st in Diplomatic Center for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 514.34 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
