The Confederacy of Dagbon is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 8 million Dagboniis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Dagboni economy, worth 204 billion Shells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 25,529 Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, the children of Dagbon are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dagbon's national animal is the Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dagbon is ranked 304,895^th in the world and 192^nd in Eladria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
