The Queen's State of DBA i is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.058 billion DBA ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong DBA ian economy, worth 432 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 23,924 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 162,659 per year while the poor average 1,285, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, elections have been outlawed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. DBA i's national animal is the deer.

DBA i is ranked 123,382nd in the world and 135th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Most Beautiful Environments, with 535.88 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
