The Federation of Dairasam is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Drukhavem Prakel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.829 billion Dairamese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jakushirap. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dairamese economy, worth 189 trillion Dairamese Baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,340 Dairamese Baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, many Dairamese twitch nervously at the sight of nuns, and government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dairasam's national animal is the Indochinese Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Dairasam is ranked 10,535^th in the world and 6^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,623.36 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
