The People's Republic of The Danubian States is a very large, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 314 million Danubians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Danubian Statesian economy, worth 7.70 trillion ducats 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 24,513 ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, meat-eating is frowned upon, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Danubian States's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Danubian States is ranked 290,691^st in the world and 3^rd in Terminus for Most Developed, scoring 47.39 on the Human Development Index.
