The Kingdom of Danelag is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.511 billion Danelagians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of York. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Danelagian economy, worth a remarkable 8,230 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,276 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Danelagians remember it, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of King, and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. Crime is totally unknown. Danelag's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Danelag is ranked 289,850^th in the world and 11,333^rd in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.3 kickbacks per hour.
