The Republic of Davis Schneider is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 345 million Davis Schneiderians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Davis Schneiderian economy, worth 19.1 trillion hits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,411 hits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Programmers often reinvent the wheel, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, high school bands practice by moonlight, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Davis Schneider's national animal is the baseball, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Davis Schneider is ranked 201,112^th in the world and 7,679^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
