The Ranellian Monarchy of Dytarma is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elias I and III von Bulan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.517 billion Dytarmen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rane. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dytarmish economy, worth a remarkable 7,060 trillion Dyts a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 300,223 Dyts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The written word endures forever, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, the government provides its citizenry with the same mass produced rations, and they say marriage really does shorten your life. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Dytarma's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dytarmism.

Dytarma is ranked 330,281^st in the world and 1^st in Solid Kingdom for Nicest Citizens, with 0.15 average smiles per day.
