The Technocratic Confederation of Daztonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Renolpa Jreley-an with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.473 billion Daztonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dazta Tmyagolg. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Daztonian economy, worth 167 trillion Auzocs 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 113,777 Auzocs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, the rich and poor vomit into separate bags, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and a degree in Renolpa Jreley-an Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daztonia's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Daztonian Faiths.

Daztonia is ranked 258,163^rd in the world and 4,996^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.91 average smiles per day.
