The Sublime Zsardom of Daulmark is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Zsar Johannes-Ottokar IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 13.716 billion Daulmarkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Öslitz. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Daulmarkian economy, worth a remarkable 3,946 trillion Kuras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 287,704 Kuras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, tax rises are attributed to divine will, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daulmark's national animal is the Osprey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sancticism.

Daulmark is ranked 5,422^nd in the world and 24^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 543.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
