The Modern Portfolio Theory of Daedra1a is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by HIM Opulentus I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.268 billion Daedra1ans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulentia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Daedra1an economy, worth an astonishing 24,678 trillion Expected Returns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 873,011 Expected Returns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,939,440 per year while the poor average 46,811, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, East Lebatuck tests its moon rovers in the barren wasteland of rural Daedra1a, and orientation videos remind rookie female politicians that slaps on the bottom are perfectly acceptable forms of communication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Daedra1a's national animal is the Risk-free Asset, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Efficient Frontier.

Daedra1a is ranked 34,427^th in the world and 1,871^st in Lazarus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,902.47 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
