The Founder Nation of Dardice is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maxwell Callaway with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.188 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 large government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Public Transport are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seraphin. The average income tax rate is 25%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Dardice's national animal is the Buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Catholic, and its currency is the Dardican.

Dardice is ranked 48th in Wolfram and Hart and 33,634th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
