The Dominion of Diretooth is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 605 million Diretoothians 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 Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Diretoothian economy, worth 12.5 trillion shillings 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 20,695 shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Halberds are common 18th birthday presents, jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diretooth's national animal is the direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diretooth is ranked 327,557th in the world and 4,692nd in the Rejected Realms for Smartest Citizens, with 3.24 quips per hour.
