The State of Dydria is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 7.938 billion Dydrians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The strong Dydrian economy, worth 489 trillion nones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 61,549 nones, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Dydria's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dydria is ranked 132,915^th in the world and 1^st in The Dimensional Union for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,303.78 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
