The Mountainous Lands of Datrie is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Henry Lawson with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.036 billion Datrians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastern Coast. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The all-consuming Datrian economy, worth 103 trillion datrian dollars 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,371 datrian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, Datrian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Henry Lawson, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown. Datrie's national animal is the chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity and Atheism.

Datrie is ranked 69,769^th in the world and 125^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,710.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
