The Genetic Mutation of Daajenai is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.436 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troglodyte. The average income tax rate is 66%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Daajenai has found 1 easter eggs), half of Daajenai's doctors can't speak the language, and armed police units patrol the roads late at night. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Daajenai's national animal is the troglodyte, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the troglodyte.

Daajenai is ranked 2,734th in Osiris and 98,746th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
