The Libertarian Colony of Daridia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor who Governs least with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.029 billion Daridians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvifèlen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.
The thriving Daridian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion saars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 45,818 saars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,009 per year while the poor average 4,154, a ratio of 61.1 to 1.
Nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, Propaganda and Partisanship 101 is a required class all political candidates must pass before being nominated by their chosen party, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, and farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Daridia's national animal is the porcupine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Neo-Stoicism.
Daridia is ranked 268,013th in the world and 40th in Colonies for Safest, scoring 11.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
