The Modern Portfolio Theory of Daedra1a is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HIM Opulentus I with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 39.708 billion Daedra1ans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulentia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Daedra1an economy, worth an astonishing 40,348 trillion Expected Returns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,016,137 Expected Returns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 9,479,154 per year while the poor average 9,630, a ratio of 984 to 1.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and even secular Daedra1ans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Daedra1a's national animal is the Risk-free Assets, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Efficient Frontier.

Daedra1a is ranked 107,262nd in the world and 1st in Daedra1a Zombie Fort for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
