The Constitutional Monarchy of Dalmannia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by König Manfred III with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.984 billion Dalmannians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clarstadt. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dalmannian economy, worth 311 trillion Dalsmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,413 Dalsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, Air Dalmannia is rumored to receive more government funding than the Dalmannian Air Force, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dalmannia's national animal is the Dalmannian Shepmatian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Exspirivatism.

Dalmannia is ranked 63,124^th in the world and 371^st in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,238.74 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
