The Free Land of Dirtli is a large, safe nation, notable for its triple-decker prams. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 97 million Dirtlians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dirtlian economy, worth 4.03 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,573 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dirtli's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dirtli is ranked 227,852^nd in the world and 604^th in Carcassonne for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 20 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
