The New Republic of Davinhia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by TBD with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.01 billion Davinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grove Street. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Davinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,370 trillion Davinhios a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 114,122 Davinhios, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,727 per year while the poor average 32,282, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Davinhia's national animal is the Jackalope, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Davinhia is ranked 125,259^th in the world and 4,825^th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.06 Obesity Rate.
