The Armed Republic of Dalaimanane is a small, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 36 million Dalaimananeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Dalaimananean economy, worth 805 billion Dalais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Tourism. Average income is 22,385 Dalais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dalaimanane's national animal is the Tucano, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dalaimanane is ranked 59,613th in the world and 972nd in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 99.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
