The Primitive Serfdom of Danny McGlurk is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Artemi Panarin with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 797 million Danny McGlurkeses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madison Square Garden. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Danny McGlurkian economy, worth 47.5 trillion Rushels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,570 Rushels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, escalators are avoided at all costs, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Danny McGlurk's national animal is the Glen Quagmire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Danny McGlurk is ranked 191,483^rd in the world and 3,670^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 46.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
