The Society of Diuturnitas is a huge, genial nation, ruled by R with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 868 million Diuturnitarians 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 government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Education, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Diuturna. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Diuturnitary economy, worth 47.7 trillion Currencies a year, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,995 Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Animal Dung" has been declared a national treasure, refugees from other nations are flocking to Diuturnitas's border, and agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diuturnitas's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diuturnitas is ranked 225,967^th in the world and 4,092^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,868.08 Standard Monetary Units.
