The Federal Democratic Republic of Darpol is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Federal Council of Darpol with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, conspicuous electricity pylons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.975 billion Darpolians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopiar. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darpolian economy, worth 312 trillion Darpolian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,192 Darpolian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, Darpolian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Federal Council of Darpol, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darpol's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Darpol is ranked 7,540^th in the world and 100^th in 10000 Islands for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 70.98 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
