The Republic of DD 1 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-working population of 2.414 billion DD 1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.6%.

The DD 1ian economy, worth 100 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,686 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

What's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", Harry Potter books are banned, and wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DD 1's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

DD 1 is ranked 109,964^th in the world and 33^rd in Stygian Abbey for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 780.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
