The Federal Commonwealth of Dicko is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Primarch Dicko with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.25 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 8,393 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 486,588 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", the nation burns bridges with neighbours who burn their rainforest, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. 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 306,104th in the world and 7,045th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 4 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
