The Nomadic Peoples of Daan is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 253 million Daanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The very strong Daanian economy, worth 17.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 67,771 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The ban on cars has been repealed, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Daan City, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Daan's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Daan is ranked 47,036^th in the world and 2^nd in Abraxas for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 55,843.45 Standard Monetary Units.
