The Socialist Republic of Dangine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Indah Měilì with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.907 billion Dangineans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kota Bintang. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Danginean economy, worth a remarkable 2,866 trillion Dangoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 240,770 Dangoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and Indah Měilì is emphatic that Dangine's HDI is much higher than it seems (Dangine has found 13 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dangine's national animal is the Quokka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dangine is ranked 289,611^th in the world and 6,288^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -630.6 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
