The Frosty Wastes of Daraln is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kira Rosberg with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 6.122 billion Daralnians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nye Rhendam. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Daralnian economy, worth 989 trillion Sharks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,573 Sharks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, and the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system. Crime is totally unknown. Daraln's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is ᛒᛚᛁᚲᛊᚢᛗᛖᚾᛊᚱᛖᚨᚾ.

Daraln is ranked 262,427^th in the world and 234^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Primitive, scoring -199.57 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
