The People's Republic of Danto is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Danto with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 8.2 billion Dantoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dantoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,330 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,223 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, a surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danto's national animal is the Chickadee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Danto is ranked 5,879^th in the world and 286^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 195.78 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
