The Poets Light But Lamps of Dar es Saalam is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Julius Nyerere with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 18.08 billion Lamis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dodoma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dar es Saalamian economy, worth a remarkable 5,245 trillion Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 290,100 Drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 965,558 per year while the poor average 64,947, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

A video of Julius Nyerere wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dar es Saalam's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Dar es Saalam is ranked 34,866^th in the world and 921^st in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 14.87 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
