The Community of Dispatch is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 26.175 billion Dispatchians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The thriving Dispatchian economy, worth a remarkable 1,566 trillion letters a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 59,836 letters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,803 per year while the poor average 12,205, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dispatch's national animal is the news.

Dispatch is ranked 59,831^st in the world and 10^th in Middle Earth for Fattest Citizens, with 13.03 Obesity Rate.
