The Adorable Nation of Davelands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, humorless population of 7.848 billion Davelandsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davelands City. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Davelandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion DaveDollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,357 DaveDollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's no representation without taxation, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and populations of two-headed Poodles have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. Crime is totally unknown. Davelands's national animal is the Poodle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The One True Church Of Dave.

Davelands is ranked 89,966^th in the world and 3,162^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,115.01 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
