The Dictatorship of Dartauga is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.637 billion Dartaugans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moringa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dartaugan economy, worth 174 trillion taugas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,799 taugas, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, it's a jungle out there, when their backs are against the walls Dartaugans look out for gay men, and flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dartauga's national animal is the waffle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dartauga is ranked 44,444^th in the world and 5^th in Homestead for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 48.85 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
