The Republic of Dalmatae is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 9 million Dalmataeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The Dalmataean economy, worth 571 billion Punats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,451 Punats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, and wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dalmatae's national animal is the Lion.

Dalmatae is ranked 77,457^th in the world and 702^nd in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 12.15 Obesity Rate.
