The Secretary of Daraln is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kira Rosberg with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 9.023 billion Daralnians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nye Rhendam. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Daralnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,465 trillion Sharks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 162,445 Sharks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, claiming it smells like rain can land you in a storm of trouble, restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, and public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy. Crime is totally unknown. Daraln's national animal is the Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Conciliam.

Daraln is ranked 270,942^nd in the world and 35^th in Lands End for Nicest Citizens, with 6.19 average smiles per day.
