The Republic of Daniel40 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.707 billion Daniel40ians 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 Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.8%.

The all-consuming Daniel40ian economy, worth 730 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,880 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, sick Daniel40ians are hair today and gone tomorrow, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, and there's more pink stuff on sale these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel40's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Daniel40 is ranked 14,959^th in the world and 5^th in New Bilderberg Group for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,434.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
