The Corporatocracy of Dirt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the God Chairman of Dirt with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.924 billion Dirti are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Pit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dirti economy, worth a remarkable 7,779 trillion Marbles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 459,656 Marbles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,721,140 per year while the poor average 85,883, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, and tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dirt's national animal is the Sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Cult of Commerce.

Dirt is ranked 289,297th in the world and 2nd in Greater Dirt Co Prosperity Sphere for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.02 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
