The Federal Republic of Daulmark is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Artur Hohenbeck with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 8.61 billion Daulmārkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levastok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Daulmārkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,223 trillion Dyoshkas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,273 Dyoshkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Daulmārkian language, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daulmark's national animal is the Noskyavian Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astlopithican Axonity.

Daulmark is ranked 14,986^th in the world and 45^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,226.98 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
