The Kingdom of Danelag is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.316 billion Danelagians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of York. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Danelagian economy, worth a remarkable 8,183 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,058 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from King's throne, the nation's peacekeeping efforts usually come with a healthy dose of pillaging, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime is totally unknown. Danelag's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Danelag is ranked 372nd in the world and 1st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 5,514.66313728 days.
