The Kingdom of Danjou is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rudolf I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.749 billion Danjouvians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville de Danjou. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Danjouvian economy, worth 852 trillion livres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,516 livres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,832 per year while the poor average 43,762, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, and eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Danjou's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Danjou is ranked 2,427^th in the world and 111^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 171,617.61 Standard Monetary Units.
