The dividend actually is in two parts: Country-owned shares (goes to country cash), itemized as Dividend as mentioned before, and the "Private Investments", or investment fund, which also has a Dividend item, but goes to the fund cash, not Country cash.
This country has no Country-owned shares, and has $SC 0 for the country Dividend payment, for example.
On the other hand, here is the example for the one that was being questioned originally.

1,919.70B SC$
New Contributions by the Population
5,313.29M SC$
Profit from Private Investments this Month (Interest)
1,439.79M SC$
Dividend ...
228.58M SC$

Income from dividend is the cash from the shares in a public corporation owned by either the country or an enterprise, not the country's Investment fund.
Make money on country stock:

honestly, the country and IF stock adds a huge part of the fun of the game for me. its one of my favorite things.
you can make a ton of money using them, i think it'd be really cool if they improved the interface. not entirely sure how they could though.
