The Kingdom of Danjou is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rudolf I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.711 billion Danjouvians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville de Danjou. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Danjouvian economy, worth 849 trillion livres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,261 livres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 562,652 per year while the poor average 44,343, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, and the country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Danjou's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Danjou is ranked 323,775^th in the world and 17,283^rd in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.35 average smiles per day.
