The ☭ Cross-Continental Union of Dakota Territories is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Astro Skovi with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 1.323 billion Dakotans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bismarck. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dakotan economy, worth 105 trillion CryptoSlavs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,749 CryptoSlavs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, the climate agreement has actually increased the volume of hot air in the atmosphere, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dakota Territories's national animal is the furry, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Death.

Dakota Territories is ranked 35,239^th in the world and 1,707^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.8 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
