The Republic of Datin is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8 million Datinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The strong Datinian economy, worth 468 billion Dats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,547 Dats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Datin's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Datin is ranked 304,092^nd in the world and 125^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
