The Democratic Republic of Daodejia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9 million Daodejiarén are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Daodejiarén economy, worth 65.6 billion Sin-tâi-pès 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 7,292 Sin-tâi-pès, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bug burgers are extra crunchy, hazmat suits are a common Daodejiarén garb, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daodejia's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Daodejia is ranked 28,463^rd in the world and 5^th in womp for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.81 Effective Tax Rate.
