The Republic of Durlia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by the Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.658 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 3,884 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 164,207 Argyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Durlian selfishness, and keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Durlians. 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 20,163^rd in the world and 221^st in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 164,207.81 Standard Monetary Units.
