The Sylvan Republic of Daruvania is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 19.386 billion Daruvanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The strong Daruvanian economy, worth 983 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,707 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 162,700 per year while the poor average 11,983, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Daruvania's national animal is the wren, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Daruvania is ranked 32,737^th in the world and 2^nd in Igewu for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,440.65 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
