The Republic of Dalmatae is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, devout population of 56 million Dalmataeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dalmataean economy, worth 3.63 trillion Punats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,793 Punats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dalmatae's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dalmatae is ranked 99,157^th in the world and 1^st in E P I C for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,412.3 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
