The Apprentice Reaper of Dtto is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.11 billion Dttoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Dttoan economy, worth 786 trillion souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,305 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, all beauty contests have been banned, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Dttoan democracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dtto's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dtto is ranked 183,244^th in the world and 2,257^th in Remembrance for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 66.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
