The Federation of Daeconi is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.47 billion Daeconians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daelorium. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Daeconian economy, worth 81.9 trillion Daeconian Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Uranium Mining industry. Average income is 23,613 Daeconian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Oracles predict landslide victories for Leader for the next 50 years, tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, and hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daeconi's national animal is the magpie, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Daeconi is ranked 325,674^th in the world and 4,859^th in The East Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -16 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
