The Kingdom of Danelag is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.417 billion Danelagians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of York. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Danelagian economy, worth a remarkable 8,205 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,114 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, many aides in King's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime is totally unknown. Danelag's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Danelag is ranked 26,087^th in the world and 1,860^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
