The Republic of The Daniel Republic is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 62 million Daniel Republicians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The strong Daniel Republician economy, worth 2.98 trillion Wers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,094 Wers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,971 per year while the poor average 3,014, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Daniel Republic's national animal is the Zebra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Daniel Republic is ranked 295,315^th in the world and 1,042^nd in Concord for Most Developed, scoring 50.31 on the Human Development Index.
