The Looking for Dinsdale State of Spiny Norman is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Dinsdale Piranha with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 9.881 billion Spiny Normanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piranha City. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Spiny Normanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,189 trillion Coconuts a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 120,372 Coconuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
The only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spiny Norman's national animal is the Dead Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pythonism.
Spiny Norman is ranked 225,827th in the world and 1st in Anti West Pacific for Safest, scoring 26.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
