The United States of D-DARM is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Daroom with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 798 million DARMians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Damirian. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.
The powerhouse DARMian economy, worth 76.5 trillion Darimas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,913 Darimas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in D-DARM, child labor has been outlawed, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D-DARM's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
