The Federation of Dapant is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Derg with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.229 billion Dapantians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dapant City. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dapantian economy, worth 133 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,256 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Dragondogs' dominate wildlife preserves, the study of medicine is popular throughout Dapant, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dapant's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Tranquility of Yellow.

Dapant is ranked 14,563^rd in the world and 86^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,258.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
