The Republic of Diplomatinis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Manuel The Mediator with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.389 billion Diplomats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Humanis. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Diplomatic economy, worth 340 trillion Duplones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 142,471 Duplones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vehicular homicide by Diplomatic ambassadors is a leading cause of death throughout the world's capital cities, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diplomatinis's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Human potential.

Diplomatinis is ranked 269,737^th in the world and 2^nd in Himmelsclan for Most Primitive, scoring -238.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
