The State of Daniali is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.419 billion Danialians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The very strong Danialian economy, worth 965 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 37,993 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly atheist, Daniali has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Daniali in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is moderate. Daniali's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Daniali is ranked 240,758^th in the world and 3^rd in Dakar for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
