The Community of Dachstopia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 462 million Dachstopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wienerville. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dachstopian economy, worth 53.9 trillion Sausages a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 116,626 Sausages, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, Dachstopian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dachstopia's national animal is the dachshund, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dachstopia is ranked 36,264^th in the world and 12^th in Fallen Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,313.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
