The Modern Portfolio Theory of Daedra1a is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by HIM Opulentus I with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 39.715 billion Daedra1ans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulentia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Daedra1an economy, worth an astonishing 40,355 trillion Expected Returns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,016,137 Expected Returns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 9,479,154 per year while the poor average 9,630, a ratio of 984 to 1.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and even secular Daedra1ans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Daedra1a's national animal is the Risk-free Assets, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Efficient Frontier.

Daedra1a is ranked 306,183rd in the world and 1st in Daedra1a Zombie Fort for Most Cultured, scoring -37 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
