The Republic of Daniel17 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.057 billion Daniel17ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel17ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,315 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,721 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 854,254 per year while the poor average 17,209, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Not all rivers run to the sea, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Daniel17ians, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel17's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Daniel17 is ranked 38,953^rd in the world and 59^th in New Bilderberg Group for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 6,218.51 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
