The Asimovian Utopia of Daneel is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by R Daneel Olivaw with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.228 billion Daneelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Feline Fine. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Daneelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,508 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 183,343 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The doctor has cold hands, even secular Daneelians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and the Feline Fine Film Festival recently voted 'Daneelian Getting Hit By Football' as best film. Crime is totally unknown. Daneel's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Psychohistory.

Daneel is ranked 36,436^th in the world and 448^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
