The Kingdom of The Dale Snatfoxy is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 317 million Dales 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dalian economy, worth 31.3 trillion Dallias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,687 Dallias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the government has been criticized for giving away The Dale Snatfoxy's territory to anyone who claims it, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, and the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dale Snatfoxy's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Dale Snatfoxy is ranked 98,476^th in the world and 84^th in Iris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
