“Anything you can do we can do better.”

The Fansubbing Empire of Dattebayo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 8.865 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dattebayo City. The average income tax rate is 23%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Airport security is provided by private companies, the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime is well under control. Dattebayo's national animal is the racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ryou.

Dattebayo is ranked 2nd in the region and 49,775th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
