Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Queendom of Daisy18 is a colossal, devout nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.444 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.

The medium-sized government is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Social Welfare and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red Elm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daisy18's national animal is the calico, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the giblet.

Daisy18 is ranked 426th in Capitalist Paradise and 105,642nd in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.031 Stalins.
