The Democratic Republic of Dakalian is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Minister Tollison Hops with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.442 billion Dakalianites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waller-Bridge. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dakalianite economy, worth 962 trillion vegas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,663 vegas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dakalian's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Day Drinking.

Dakalian is ranked 3,053^rd in the world and 86^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 694.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
