The Second Republic of Daneka is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Fischer Lang with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.131 billion Danekans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aßtha. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Danekan economy, worth 108 trillion Concord-Daneka Bills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,714 Concord-Daneka Bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of Concord-Daneka Bills are spent to take high-quality photos of the Great Eagle Nebula, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, Fischer Lang is famed for giving great back rubs, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daneka's national animal is the Great Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Daneka is ranked 113,597^th in the world and 213^th in Concord for Most Authoritarian, with 881.5 milliStalins.
