The Republic of Paradise-By The Dashboard Light is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.637 billion Paradise-By The Dashboard Lightians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Paradise-By The Dashboard Lightian economy, worth 175 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 106,929 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,922 per year while the poor average 25,180, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, politicians have tenure, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and adultery has been made a capital offence. 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 144,493^rd in the world and 2^nd in Meat Loaf for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 951.93 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
