The Matriarchy of Dendrocnide is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.113 billion Dendrocnideans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.1%.

The Dendrocnidean economy, worth 123 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 39,727 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dendrocnide's national animal is the bovina.

Dendrocnide is ranked 185,168^th in the world and 2^nd in Ghana for Most Patriotic, with 7.09 flags saluted per person per day.
