The Dominion of Disrest is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 820 million Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconios are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.0%.

The very strong Disrestian economy, worth 50.2 trillion Doos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 61,252 Doos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 212,319 per year while the poor average 12,900, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

Government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and Disrest has designated Disrest City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Disrest's national animal is the Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Disrest is ranked 301,611^th in the world and 2,155^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 1.02 average smiles per day.
