The State of Denmara is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 41.678 billion Denmarans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Denmaran economy, worth 959 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,031 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, all tariffs have been abolished, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Denmara's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Denmara is ranked 223,228^th in the world and 1^st in Denmara for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
