The Most Serene Republic of Davewerld is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 6.765 billion 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 devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Drunk drivers are sentenced to death, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is totally unknown. Davewerld's national animal is the Doodle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ramadoo.

Davewerld is ranked 43rd in Lazarus and 884th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 163 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
