The Republic of Datin is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Datinians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The strong Datinian economy, worth 868 billion Dats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,052 Dats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human, the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Datin's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Datin is ranked 42,862^nd in the world and 33^rd in UEPU Federal Republic for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
