The Republic of Daniel14 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.845 billion Daniel14ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel14ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,267 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 163,793 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Daniel14ian democracy, windows in Daniel14 City don't have much of a view, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel14's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Daniel14 is ranked 8,798^th in the world and 31^st in New Bilderberg Group for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 43,952.76 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
