The Kingdom of Danjou is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rudolf I with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.765 billion Danjouvians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville de Danjou. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Danjouvian economy, worth 857 trillion livres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,927 livres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,361 per year while the poor average 44,061, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Anyone interested in the stock market is investigated, emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Danjou's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Danjou is ranked 324,658^th in the world and 17,462^nd in Lazarus for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 12.02 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
