The Special Cooperative Zone of Dacaro is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Miku Kiri-Barafort with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.609 billion Dacarans 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izacoji. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dacaran economy, worth a remarkable 2,205 trillion krudas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,170 krudas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

T-shirts displaying a photo of Miku Kiri-Barafort performing the Full-Monty are selling out, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dacaro's national animal is the blahaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dacaro is ranked 1,455^th in the world and 18^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 310 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
