The Empire of Dirty Cheating Bastards is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.234 billion Cheaters enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Dirty Cheating Bastardsian economy, worth 81.7 trillion bribes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,244 bribes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,995 per year while the poor average 18,785, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, genetic researchers have been expelled, Leader has just been declared ruler of Dirty Cheating Bastards in an international press conference, and Dirty Cheating Bastards has designated Dirty Cheating Bastards City as its capital city.

Dirty Cheating Bastards's national animal is the Referee, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
