The Republic of Dashat is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Socrates Vajiralongkorn with an iron fist, and renowned for its burgeoning Prairie dog population. The cynical population of 1.253 billion Dashatians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khugatsogt. The average income tax rate is 39.5%.

The Dashatian economy, worth 48.1 trillion Kanaes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,424 Kanaes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, parents often use toddler leashes on rebellious teenagers, intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dashat's national animal is the Prairie dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Bouche.

Dashat is ranked 123,280^th in the world and 24^th in Audinesca for Fattest Citizens, with 10.45 Obesity Rate.
