The Republic of Durlia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by the Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.622 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 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Durlian economy, worth a remarkable 3,850 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 163,023 Argyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on, military training in Durlia emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, Durlians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, and citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts. 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 4,294^th in the world and 105^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 95.49 on the Human Development Index.
