The Free Land of Dative is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Dat boi with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.654 billion Dativeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ouann. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dativean economy, worth 328 trillion Exoneses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 89,880 Exoneses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Most Dativeans wear towels as demand for pants outstrips supply, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dative's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yobama.

Dative is ranked 267,095^th in the world and 5^th in Number for Nicest Citizens, with 2.76 average smiles per day.
