The Black Cat Commander of Dak is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its suspicion of poets and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 3.225 billion Dakians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong Dakian economy, worth 132 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 41,186 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,857 per year while the poor average 4,815, a ratio of 41.9 to 1.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Dak, and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dak's national animal is the wolf.

Dak is ranked 101,348^th in the world and 1^st in Rejected Realms Army for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.28 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
