Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Peoples Republic of Daniellena is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Chadius Maximus with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 946 million 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 Social Welfare, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Martinapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniellena's national animal is the Pit Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Chad.

Daniellena is ranked 9th in Islandia and 16,589th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
