The Snekdom of Dakutal is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Snekula with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.452 billion Dakutali 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dakutal. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Dakutali economy, worth a remarkable 2,858 trillion Geres a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 273,528 Geres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 879,760 per year while the poor average 64,412, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, late night talk show hosts are having a field day over Snekula's questionably sane new coalition partners, and nose plugs are the latest Dakutali fashion accessory. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dakutal's national animal is the sea snake, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Fazhar.

Dakutal is ranked 24,359^th in the world and 2^nd in The Lunch Table for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,578.6 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
