The Special Cooperative Zone of Dacaro is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Miku Kiri-Barafort with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.788 billion Dacarans 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izacoji. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dacaran economy, worth a remarkable 2,269 trillion krudas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 258,202 krudas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Dacaran radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, museums offer moralization or your money back, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Dacaran language. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dacaro's national animal is the blahaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dacaro is ranked 5,733^rd in the world and 30^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 258,202.2 Standard Monetary Units.
