The People's Republic of DN 3 is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 786 million DN 3ians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The very strong DN 3ian economy, worth 47.8 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,808 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and when it comes to flavor there's no gain without pain. Crime is a problem. DN 3's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

DN 3 is ranked 250,496^th in the world and 13^th in Cubers DN for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
