The Republic of Dizzy Gillespie is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 984 million Dizzy Gillespieans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The all-consuming Dizzy Gillespiean economy, worth 59.4 trillion Dizzies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,348 Dizzies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,731 per year while the poor average 8,773, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

People forget to eat because they are too busy singing Leader's praises, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dizzy Gillespie's national animal is the Gillespie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dizzy Gillespie is ranked 84,781^st in the world and 1,437^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 25.41 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
