The People's Republic of Direlia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Direl with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, devout population of 3.141 billion Direlians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunar Eternal Capital. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Direlian economy, worth 384 trillion Cings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,264 Cings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trickle-down healthcare props up the poorest in society, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime is totally unknown. Direlia's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Direlia is ranked 68,050^th in the world and 8^th in Ridgefield for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,854.58 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
