The Grand Duchy of Dauershire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.889 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.

The enormous government concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Law & Order are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Dauershire's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the euro.

Dauershire is ranked 46th in Europe and 4,990th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 104 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
