The Federation of Den Alew is a huge, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 214 million Den Alewians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving Den Alewian economy, worth 18.4 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,157 Doubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,887 per year while the poor average 17,145, a ratio of 18.1 to 1.

Doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, protestors are soaking piles of Doubloons in blood to make a point about government incomes, solid-gold toilets are Den Alewian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Den Alew's national animal is the Hummingbird.

Den Alew is ranked 167,334^th in the world and 2,694^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,297.19 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
