The United States of Daniel25 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.655 billion Daniel25ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel25ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,289 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,665 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 493,407 per year while the poor average 44,859, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, and radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel25's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Daniel25 is ranked 230,576^th in the world and 61^st in New Bilderberg Group for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.67 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
