The Kingdom of Dancoppea is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Daniel I with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.591 billion Dancoppeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altaville. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The powerhouse Dancoppean economy, worth 237 trillion Dancoppean Dolars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 91,629 Dancoppean Dolars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, a nation-wide cull of Dancoppean Terriers is in effect, the government is said to have a martyrdom complex, and King Daniel I's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dancoppea's national animal is the Dancoppean Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Dancoppea is ranked 12,141^st in the world and 10^th in Thaecia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 83,565.83 Standard Monetary Units.
