The Federal republic of The Daugava is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Etkars Tilpe with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.127 billion Daugavans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suurvalla. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Daugavan economy, worth a remarkable 1,426 trillion Daugas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,164 Daugas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Netizens fiercely argue over who loves Etkars Tilpe more, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Daugava's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Daugava is ranked 200,174^th in the world and 6^th in Slavia for Largest Black Market, with 488 billion Standard Monetary Units.
