The Libertarian Colony of Daridia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor who Governs least with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.74 billion Daridians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvifèlen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The powerhouse Daridian economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion saars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 64,102 saars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 396,802 per year while the poor average 4,472, a ratio of 88.7 to 1.

The comic book series 'The Governor who Governs least and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Daridia's national animal is the porcupine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Neo-Stoicism.

Daridia is ranked 8,240^th in the world and 1^st in Colonies for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 124.75 on the Hayek Index.
