The Cult of Dais is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.426 billion Daish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Daish economy, worth 64.0 trillion crowns 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 9,964 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dais's national animal is the aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dais is ranked 227,453^rd in the world and 3^rd in Angels Encarmine for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 40.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
