The United Kingdom of Dasnar is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 327 million Dasnarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canaan. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Dasnarian economy, worth 23.0 trillion crescents a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,214 crescents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dasnar's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dasnar's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dasnar is ranked 59,435^th in the world and 148^th in New Western Empire for Most Developed, scoring 62.56 on the Human Development Index.
