The Imperial States of Dacicia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Alastair Burnham with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 23.056 billion Dacicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theane. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dacician economy, worth a remarkable 4,502 trillion haroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 195,263 haroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dacicia's national animal is the griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the total separation of church and state.

Dacicia is ranked 319,834^th in the world and 8^th in Tsumonrin for Most Pacifist, with 5.3 cheeks turned per day.
