The Republic of Pokopia Ditto is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.34 billion Pokopia Dittoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Withered Wasteland. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Pokopia Dittoan economy, worth 47.1 trillion pokeyens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,125 pokeyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, the incidence of wrist sprains is falling, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pokopia Ditto's national animal is the ditto, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pokopia Ditto is ranked 52,781^st in the world and 1^st in Pokopia for Most Extreme, scoring 30.24 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
