The Impulsive Republic of Daughteria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Rhadagast of Daughteria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.757 billion Daughterians 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 Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orthanc. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gabrielite economy, worth a remarkable 2,845 trillion robles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,563 robles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every day at 4am Daughterians wake to pray for the sun to rise, god-fearing citizens can be seen in prayer circles around the Big Max impact crater, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Governor Rhadagast of Daughteria's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Daughteria's national animal is the dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gabrielism.

Daughteria is ranked 284,970th in the world and 6,663rd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -21.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
