The Republic of Darmen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Sebastian Elliott with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 26.298 billion Darmenis are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scott City. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Darmeni economy, worth a remarkable 4,724 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 179,659 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, and cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darmen's national animal is the German Shepherd, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Darmen is ranked 245,364^th in the world and 68^th in Rushmore for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
