The Kingdom of Daskein is a very large, genial nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 377 million Daskeiners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Daskeiner economy, worth 6.07 trillion thalers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 16,104 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygamy is legal, birth rates have hit an all-time low, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and the thaler is worth its weight in gold. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daskein's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Daskein is ranked 27,697^th in the world and 127^th in Carcassonne for Nicest Citizens, with 20.7 average smiles per day.
