The Galactic Communes of Daravon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Interim Chairwoman Switzerland with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 10.759 billion Daravonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daravon. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Daravonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Labors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 188,712 Labors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daravon's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Marxism-Francoism.

Daravon is ranked 258,242^nd in the world and 9,829^th in The East Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -15.81 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
