Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Medieval Principality of Danestate is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by King Edmund IV with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 2.104 billion 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.

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 York. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danestate's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Anglicanism, and its currency is the Ducat.

Danestate is ranked 218th in British Isles and 60,179th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.322 Stalins.
