The Dysprosium of Dy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, humorless population of 28.353 billion Dyians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nucleus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,121 trillion Neutrons a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,363 Neutrons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 438,714 per year while the poor average 37,526, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

Compass sales have gone south, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, the homeless more often beg for mercy than money, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dy's national animal is the Electron, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dy is ranked 316,148^th in the world and 32^nd in Anime for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -36 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
