The Republic of Diamond Head is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.066 billion Diamond Headians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The all-consuming Diamond Headian economy, worth a remarkable 1,957 trillion fractions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,726 fractions, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, nobody knows why the caged poodle sings, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diamond Head's national animal is the poodle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Diamond Head is ranked 314,262nd in the world and 3rd in Hawaii Island for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -13.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
