“Pies for all!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Dimplingpie is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Princess Dimpy with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 3.224 billion Dimplingpieans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dimptropolis. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Dimplingpiean economy, worth 277 trillion Pies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,933 Pies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dimplingpie's national animal is the Wisdom Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hootangelism.

Dimplingpie is ranked 12,071^st in the world and 346^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,416.31 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
