The Republic of Diamante is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.141 billion Diamanteans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Diamantean economy, worth 121 trillion Zafiroes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 106,486 Zafiroes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 557,428 per year while the poor average 10,913, a ratio of 51.1 to 1.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Diamante's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diamante is ranked 252,571^st in the world and 2,481^st in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 132 billion Standard Monetary Units.
