Average income is an impressive 119,883 Cryptoslavs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dakota Territories's national animal is the Batfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.
