The Republic of Denmystan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hugh mongus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.362 billion Denmystanians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denman. The average income tax rate is 37.1%.

The very strong Denmystanian economy, worth 176 trillion Dalmens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,919 Dalmens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Denman Film Festival recently voted 'Denmystanian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, homophobia is off the menu, alcoholism is the newest import from Dàguó, and third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Denmystan's national animal is the Paragon Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Ye.

Denmystan is ranked 17,242^nd in the world and 385^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,597.9 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
