The Daniel Radcliffdom of Thabina is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel Radcliffe with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.892 billion Radcliffians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Radcliffia. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Radcliffian economy, worth a remarkable 3,901 trillion Radollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 261,991 Radollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and escalators are avoided at all costs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thabina's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Darlings.
Thabina is ranked 203,923rd in the world and 1st in An Alcove for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
