The State of Diesis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.621 billion Diesisians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Diesisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,125 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,999 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,350 per year while the poor average 2,041, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, a major religion has been named as Diesis's national religion, Diesis has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Diesis in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Diesis's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Diesis is ranked 290,384^th in the world and 8^th in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte for Lowest Crime Rates, with 29.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
