The Empire of Dartlan is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working population of 1.487 billion Dartlanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The Dartlanian economy, worth 66.7 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 44,872 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dartlan's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Dartlan is ranked 21,535^th in the world and 750^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,985.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
