The City of Davao is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 25.594 billion Davaoans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Social Policy, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davao. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Davaoan economy, worth a remarkable 5,701 trillion Pesos a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,763 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, phenotypic plasticity is a struggle for sealife in polluted waters, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime is well under control. Davao's national animal is the Kalabaw na Pantubig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Davao is ranked 2,780^th in the world and 171^st in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 13,272.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
