The Republic of Dreamsinker is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.155 billion Dreamsinkerians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sink. The average income tax rate is 93.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dreamsinkerian economy, worth a remarkable 4,673 trillion marks 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 210,956 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dreamsinker's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Dreamsinker is ranked 183,108th in the world and 2nd in Occupied Mars for Most Developed, scoring 53.87 on the Human Development Index.
