The Durm Ekruteak Nazgurth of Den is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Durm Ekruteak Nazgurth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.855 billion Denizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Den economy, worth 19.8 trillion rubledollars 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, 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 5,134 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, Durm Ekruteak Nazgurth is the self-declared God of all Den, and Durm Ekruteak Nazgurth has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Den's national animal is the malicious Osiran shadow hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Den is ranked 270,411^th in the world and 8,360^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.76 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
