The Empire of Dhan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel the First and the Last with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.051 billion Dhanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lynaad. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dhanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,618 trillion danns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,964 danns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Dhanian weed picker are way up, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhan's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dhan is ranked 4,156^th in the world and 181^st in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 20,872.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
