The State of DBA xv is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 18.925 billion DBA xvians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 12.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong DBA xvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,881 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, and city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all. Crime is totally unknown. DBA xv's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

DBA xv is ranked 154,930^th in the world and 17^th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
