The Free Land of Dankzig is a large, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 161 million Dankzigers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dankziger economy, worth 5.00 trillion greens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,037 greens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the government thinks Dankzigers can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dankzig's national animal is the ganjalope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dankzig is ranked 230,200^th in the world and 98^th in Canada for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
