The Republic of Dantek is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sarven Icakas with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.466 billion Danteks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanettara. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dantek economy, worth 524 trillion strals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,194 strals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, interest in globalism never flags, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dantek's national animal is the Dantek albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Epervayanism.

Dantek is ranked 14,673^rd in the world and 625^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 332.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
