The Matriarchy of Danschien Ryeifyinsshire is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its closed borders, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 866 million Danschien are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Danschime. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Danschien economy, worth 10.1 trillion Rudimentary Commodity Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 11,657 Rudimentary Commodity Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, it's a miracle that there aren't more plane crashes, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danschien Ryeifyinsshire's national animal is the Froggy Frog and Teimureischiye, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Danschien Ryeifyinsshire is ranked 16,858^th in the world and 709^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 55.69 Whatever.
