The Dictatariat of Dasva is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.285 billion Dasvans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dasvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,280 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 242,309 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, most academic research has ground to a halt, and the doctor has cold hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dasva's national animal is the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dasva is ranked 21,659^th in the world and 24^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,850.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
