The Black Lucky Holy Christmas of Durmengrad II is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Santa St Patrick with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.56 billion denizens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Durmengradian economy, worth a remarkable 2,144 trillion gold bar candy canes 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 158,131 gold bar candy canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gamblers often find their stakes burnt, the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates, legend has it Santa St Patrick's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durmengrad II's national animal is the zombie reindeer pony leprechaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Durmengrad II is ranked 276,502^nd in the world and 10,166^th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 6.37 Obesity Rate.
