The Federation of DIkht is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dikshant with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.585 billion DIkhtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DIkci. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient DIkhtian economy, worth 382 trillion Ducs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,024 Ducs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DIkht's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unity.

DIkht is ranked 261,202nd in the world and 746th in 10000 Islands for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.75 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
