The Grand Duchy of Dauershire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 46.955 billion Dauershireans 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 tiny government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dauershirean economy, worth an astonishing 10,680 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,469 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, and the government is proudly free of crabs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dauershire's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dauershire is ranked 156,059^th in the world and 245^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 9.86 Obesity Rate.
