The United Kingdom of Dasshutsu is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 663 million Dasshutsuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borukan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The powerhouse Dasshutsuan economy, worth 62.4 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 94,156 Lire, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and the Borukan Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dasshutsu's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dasshutsu is ranked 82,190^th in the world and 35^th in Der Leibwache for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,508.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
