The Free Land of Dutterimdeshiryk is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 766 million Dutterimdeshirykians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dutterimdeshirykian economy, worth 47.6 trillion kronor 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 62,160 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Dutterimdeshiryk City, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime is totally unknown. Dutterimdeshiryk's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dutterimdeshiryk is ranked 273,311^th in the world and 456^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.75 kickbacks per hour.
