The Federal Commonwealth of Dicko is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Primarch Dicko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, prohibition of alcohol, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.407 billion Dickoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dickoan economy, worth a remarkable 8,515 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 489,192 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dicko's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dicko is ranked 33rd in the world and 6th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 343.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
