The State of DBA v is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 18.171 billion DBA vians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.
The thriving DBA vian economy, worth 548 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 30,206 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,772 per year while the poor average 3,029, a ratio of 52.7 to 1.
DBA vians struggle to cut steak with a spoon, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime is a serious problem. DBA v's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
DBA v is ranked 121,202nd in the world and 16th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Most Stationary, with 291.9224173362 days.
