The Federative Republic of Dives Patriae is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Josef Stalin with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.368 billion Diveneans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Divenean economy, worth 707 trillion Diveons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 210,123 Diveons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Josef Stalin For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Josef Stalin's supporters, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dives Patriae's national animal is the Golden owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Dives Patriae is ranked 173,211th in the world and 17th in Fullworthia for Most Stationary, with 91.9695244728 days.
