The Republic of Damaskia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Loidberg with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.054 billion Damaskians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Damaskian economy, worth 351 trillion Kerolines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 171,101 Kerolines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, massive new slaughterhouses are being hailed as a sign of progress, even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damaskia's national animal is the sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Whitecreamism.

Damaskia is ranked 139,570^th in the world and 164^th in The League for Safest, scoring 66.92 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
