The Community of Dirse is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.931 billion Dirseans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dirsean economy, worth 348 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,935 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, workers seize the means of production as foreign troops seize Dirse's autonomy, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, and the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dirse's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dirse is ranked 15,922^nd in the world and 179^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 95 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
