The Cooperative Trade Zone of Dacaro is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Secretary-General Kiriko Sarol-Barafort with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.586 billion Dacarans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izacoji. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dacaran economy, worth 726 trillion krudas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 202,686 krudas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Secretary-General Kiriko Sarol-Barafort is a silly poophead, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, and cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton. Crime is totally unknown. Dacaro's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dacaro is ranked 3,229th in the world and 49th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 680.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
