The Federal Republic of Darbland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the President with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.163 billion Darblandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darbland City. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darblandian economy, worth 353 trillion Euros 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 163,563 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills. Crime is totally unknown. Darbland's national animal is the Keir Starmer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Darbland is ranked 59,190^th in the world and 1,788^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
