The Republic of Pokopia Ditto is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, public floggings, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.906 billion Pokopia Dittoans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Withered Wasteland. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Pokopia Dittoan economy, worth 74.6 trillion pokeyens 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 39,135 pokeyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Woefully uninformed voters cast their ballots at random, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and urban planners beg for just one more lane before bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pokopia Ditto's national animal is the ditto.

Pokopia Ditto is ranked 214,722^nd in the world and 4^th in Pokopia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.87 percentage of bribes refused.
