The Watchfires of Dar-1 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 23.307 billion Dar-1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.0%.

The powerhouse Dar-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,917 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,284 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dar-1's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dar-1 is ranked 84,020^th in the world and 1^st in Dardanelles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,770.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
