The Poets Light but Lamps of Dar es Saalam is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Julius Nyerere with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, complete lack of prisons, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.41 billion Lamis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dodoma. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dar es Saalamian economy, worth a remarkable 5,024 trillion Silver Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 288,585 Silver Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, frustrated teenage boys are told that if they like it then they should have put a ring on it, and remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dar es Saalam's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicsm.

Dar es Saalam is ranked 1,960^th in the world and 56^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 5,024 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
