The Adorable Nation of Davelands is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, humorless population of 7.308 billion Davelandsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davelands City. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Davelandsian economy, worth 974 trillion DaveDollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,380 DaveDollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-DaveDollar treacle machine, the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Davelandsian Desert, and polite commuters on the Davelands City Metro always let hurried workers off the train first. Crime is totally unknown. Davelands's national animal is the Poodle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The One True Church Of Dave.

Davelands is ranked 157,009^th in the world and 6,072^nd in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.9 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
