The Republic of Daniel15 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.717 billion Daniel15ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel15ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,324 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,442 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, not all rivers run to the sea, and many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel15's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Daniel15 is ranked 8,088^th in the world and 28^th in New Bilderberg Group for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 45,418.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
