The Black Lucky Holy Christmas of Durmengrad Prime is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santa St Patrick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.814 billion denizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized 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 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Durmengradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,005 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 128,663 gold bar candy canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, trains and passengers alike are often late, the central government is trying to keep things flowing, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durmengrad Prime's national animal is the zombie reindeer pony leprechaun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Durmengrad Prime is ranked 275,816^th in the world and 9,942^nd in Osiris for Safest, scoring 6.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
