The Incorporated States of Dacara is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Catherine McBain with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.417 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kelowna . The average income tax rate is 73%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dacara's national animal is the Black Adder, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dacaran Dollar.

Dacara is ranked 34th in Region of Liberty and 85,760th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 14 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
