The Republic of Paradise-By The Dashboard Light is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 1.772 billion Paradise-By The Dashboard Lightians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Paradise-By The Dashboard Lightian economy, worth 189 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 106,523 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,433 per year while the poor average 25,320, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader, Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradise-By The Dashboard Light's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Paradise-By The Dashboard Light is ranked 232,505^th in the world and 7^th in Meat Loaf for Most Secular, with 14.02 Atheism Rate.
