The Federal Republic of Danthia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by El Presendente with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.438 billion Danthians 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 Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bahia Azul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Danthian economy, worth 466 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,640 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 447,745 per year while the poor average 30,742, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", and t-shirts displaying a photo of El Presendente performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danthia's national animal is the Crimson Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Danthia is ranked 90,748th in the world and 663rd in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 284.8 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
