The DaS Puppet State of Idotistanistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Ux with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.579 billion Idotistanistanians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vertigo. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Idotistanistanian economy, worth 551 trillion Rallods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 120,449 Rallods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Idotistanistanian Navy, babies are a small but significant export, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, and doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Idotistanistan's national animal is the Idotistanistani Mountain Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Idotistanistan is ranked 34,195^th in the world and 1,231^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 200.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
