The Republic of Das Wort is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 32 million Das Wortians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Das Wortian economy, worth 978 billion 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. 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 30,574 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Das Wort's national animal is the dove.

Das Wort is ranked 81,169^th in the world and 2^nd in Languages for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,857.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
