The District of DBA is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.862 billion DBAS enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong DBAian economy, worth 403 trillion aurums a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 20,339 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and DBA has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is moderate. DBA's national animal is the bovina.
DBA is ranked 95,886th in the world and 77th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -4.47 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
