The Dictatorship of Gidentyrploon is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23 million Gidentyrploonians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Gidentyrploonian economy, worth 479 billion Dollars 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, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 20,836 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, Gidentyrploon has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gidentyrploon's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gidentyrploon is ranked 169,388^th in the world and 47^th in womp for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 542.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
