The European Colony of Dwayl is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Herman van Rompuy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 24.618 billion Dwaylians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Dwaylian economy, worth 894 trillion Franks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,337 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Hermanism has been named as Dwayl's national religion, Herman van Rompuy has just been declared ruler of Dwayl in an international press conference, Dwayl has designated Brussels as its capital city, and public nudity is compulsory. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dwayl's national animal is the mole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hermanism.

Dwayl is ranked 188,354^th in the world and 74^th in belgium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
