The Republic of Durlia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.688 billion Durlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyrmagg. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Durlian economy, worth a remarkable 3,905 trillion Argyns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,868 Argyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, a rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime is totally unknown. Durlia's national animal is the red deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Durlia is ranked 312,348^th in the world and 1,357^th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 395.72 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
