The Kingdom of Dancoppea is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Daniel I with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.525 billion Dancoppeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altaville. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The powerhouse Dancoppean economy, worth 231 trillion Dancoppean Dolars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 91,629 Dancoppean Dolars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, a nation-wide cull of Dancoppean Terriers is in effect, the government is said to have a martyrdom complex, and King Daniel I's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dancoppea's national animal is the Dancoppean Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Dancoppea is ranked 174,167^th in the world and 59^th in Thaecia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,057.83 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
