The Free Land of Dative is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dat boi with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, smutty television, and fear of technology. The compassionate, devout population of 3.488 billion Dativeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ouann. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dativean economy, worth 287 trillion Exoneses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 82,401 Exoneses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Dative after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, a paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, and the gravy train is chugging along on a new track. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dative's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yobama.

Dative is ranked 283,218^th in the world and 8^th in Number for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,069.75 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
