The Empire of Dhan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Daniel the First and the Last with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 34.255 billion Dhanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lynaad. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dhanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,410 trillion danns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,948 danns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Dhanian weed picker are way up, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhan's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dhan is ranked 9,431^st in the world and 539^th in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,715.92 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
