The Democratic Republic of Dakalian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Minister Tollison Hops with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.367 billion Dakalianites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waller-Bridge. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dakalianite economy, worth 945 trillion vegas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 216,512 vegas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dakalian's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Day Drinking.

Dakalian is ranked 288,535^th in the world and 5,401^st in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -20.88 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
