The Republic of Dan Bourobarn is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 429 million Dan Bourobarnians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 41.3%.

The powerhouse Dan Bourobarnian economy, worth 37.4 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,270 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, private law firms are unheard of, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dan Bourobarn's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dan Bourobarn is ranked 267,699^th in the world and 803^rd in Concord for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.93 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
