The Republic of Diponegora is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President François Tri Baskara with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.057 billion Diponegorans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meikarta. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.

The Diponegoran economy, worth 172 trillion Diponegoran Piastres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,549 Diponegoran Piastres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, President François Tri Baskara's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Diponegora's national animal is the Loloattan Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Church.

Diponegora is ranked 174,595^th in the world and 8^th in East Asia for Largest Populations, with 3.06 billion capita.
