The Adorable Nation of Davelands is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 17.153 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davelands City. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Davelandsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,489 trillion Sportsbucks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,149 Sportsbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, t-shirts displaying a photo of Dave performing the Full-Monty are selling out, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Davelandsians like vultures. Crime is totally unknown. Davelands's national animal is the Poodle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Davelands is ranked 165,423rd in the world and 7th in The Sportsbook for Most Pro-Market, scoring 41.89 on the Rand Index.
