The Kingdom of Donauviane is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 186 million Donauwörterners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Donauwörternernian economy, worth 11.9 trillion Flortsias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,084 Flortsias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donauviane's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Donauviane is ranked 103,229^th in the world and 1^st in The United nations of Montovia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,265.32 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
