The Principality of Damirez is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.567 billion Damirezians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mithras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Damirezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,746 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 128,720 Aureuses, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lifeguards are stationed on the streets during rainstorms, there's no representation without taxation, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime is totally unknown. Damirez's national animal is the Kemono Musume, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Damirez is ranked 58,243^rd in the world and 3^rd in Nova for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
