The United Socialist States of Dakota Territories is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 487 million Dakotans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bismarck. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dakotan economy, worth 33.0 trillion CryptoSlavs 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 Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,798 CryptoSlavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dakota Territories's national animal is the furry, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dakota Territories is ranked 2,563^rd in the world and 726^th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 29,025 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
