The Republikstaat of Daneka is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Marko Drest with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.082 billion Danekans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aßtha. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Danekan economy, worth 912 trillion Almeria-Daneka bills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 179,641 Almeria-Daneka bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, foreign leaders are advising that Marko Drest's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daneka's national animal is the Great Danekan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant-Catholicism.

Daneka is ranked 187,221^st in the world and 119^th in Eladria for Highest Drug Use, scoring 112.98 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
