The High Athelingric of Datarax is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.393 billion Dataraxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dataraxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,350 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,915 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Datarax's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Datarax is ranked 14,601^st in the world and 6^th in Cainitium for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 25,972.3 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
