The City of Diyarbakir is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mehmet with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.712 billion Diyarbakirians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diyarbakir. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Diyarbakirian economy, worth a remarkable 2,779 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,113 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diyarbakir's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Diyarbakir is ranked 291,409th in the world and 11,023rd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -23.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
