The Colony of Dausuva is a massive, genial nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.501 billion Dausuvans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dausuvan economy, worth 434 trillion neo-litas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,627 neo-litas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and torture is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dausuva's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dausuva is ranked 224,987^th in the world and 4,284^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
