The Technokratisch Republik of Dai Chuan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Präsident Karl Werner with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.562 billion Icebergians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glaciesia. The average income tax rate is 51.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Icebergian economy, worth 210 trillion Newton 𝒩s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 134,867 Newton 𝒩s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dai Chuan's national animal is the Republiksadler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dai Chuan is ranked 122,026^th in the world and 150^th in Wintreath for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 843.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
