The Federal Commonwealth of Dicko is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Primarch Dicko with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.711 billion Dickoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dickoan economy, worth an astonishing 12,544 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 552,372 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

First-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dicko's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dicko is ranked 212,504^th in the world and 3,323^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 95.96 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
