The Republic of Daniel8 is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.148 billion Daniel8ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel8ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,716 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,008 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel8's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Daniel8 is ranked 65,189^th in the world and 31^st in New Bilderberg Group for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,559.34 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
