The Ranellian Monarchy of Dytarma is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elias I and III von Bulan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.427 billion Dytarmen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rane. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dytarmish economy, worth a remarkable 7,027 trillion Dyts 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, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 299,969 Dyts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, the government is expanding hungrily in its conquest of bread, and "Day of the Rope" is the top song of the summer. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dytarma's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dytarmism.

Dytarma is ranked 1,266^th in the world and 1^st in Solid Kingdom for Highest Poor Incomes, with 252,378.81 Standard Monetary Units.
