The Republic of Daniel21b is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.764 billion Daniel21bians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel21bian economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 145,335 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,515 per year while the poor average 39,688, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel21b's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Daniel21b is ranked 26,516^th in the world and 36^th in New Bilderberg Group for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
