The Protectorate of Dayyanny is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Daiana Delio with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, fear of technology, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.82 billion Dayyannyians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dayanatown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The powerhouse Dayyannyian economy, worth 630 trillion Lexells a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 80,635 Lexells, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,574 per year while the poor average 10,079, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and the only issue that Governor Daiana Delio has is that there aren't enough issues (Dayyanny has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dayyanny's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sunshowerism.

Dayyanny is ranked 286,575^th in the world and 10,989^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 37.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
