The Great Holy Empire of Danber is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Holy Great Emperor Amannah I with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.642 billion Shudovias are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portalegasta. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Danberian economy, worth 639 trillion Sehyavs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,393 Sehyavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and naval patrols only last nine months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danber's national animal is the The Noble Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Makriavion.

Danber is ranked 266,820^th in the world and 86^th in The Pacifica for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
