The Armed Parliamentary Republic of Danlina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Samuel Robinson with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.053 billion Danlinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paralemville. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Danlinian economy, worth 78.7 trillion Danlinian Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,724 Danlinian Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Danlinian actors literally work from cradle to grave, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, economists claim no news is good news, and the government pours millions of Danlinian Lire into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danlina's national animal is the hooded crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Danlina is ranked 57,600^th in the world and 2,089^th in the West Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 74.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
