The Republic of Daniel15 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.796 billion Daniel15ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel15ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,333 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,154 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Daniel15 City Airport's endless art maze, the Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel15's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Daniel15 is ranked 298,599^th in the world and 47^th in New Bilderberg Group for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.39 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
