The Dictatorship of DaBes is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 298 million DaBesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong DaBesian economy, worth 24.0 trillion Dadollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,635 Dadollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, Lady Justice has swapped her blindfold for steel-capped boots, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in DaBes. Crime is totally unknown. DaBes's national animal is the Danimals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DaBes is ranked 87,630^th in the world and 1,330^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,442.64 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
