The United Socialist States of Daggria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Daggorth with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 26.394 billion Daggrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravenholm. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Daggrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,437 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 92,347 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daggria's national animal is the raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Daggria is ranked 3,325^th in the world and 1^st in Renegade Islands Alliance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,950.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
