The Modern Portfolio Theory of Daedra1a is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HIM Opulentus I with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.23 billion Daedra1ans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulentia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Daedra1an economy, worth an astonishing 24,608 trillion Expected Returns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 871,704 Expected Returns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,607,407 per year while the poor average 54,933, a ratio of 102 to 1.

9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Daedra1a's national animal is the Risk-free Asset, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Efficient Frontier.

Daedra1a is ranked 1,754^th in the world and 60^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 28.2 billion Capita.
