The Free Land of Dankzig is a large, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 187 million Dankzigers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dankziger economy, worth 6.74 trillion greens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,055 greens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, Dankzig recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius'. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dankzig's national animal is the ganjalope, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dankzig is ranked 209,890^th in the world and 132^nd in Canada for Largest Black Market, with 416 billion Standard Monetary Units.
