The Community of Durian Paradise is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Megawati Soekarnoputri with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 4.093 billion Durian Paradiseans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bojonegara. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Durian Paradisean economy, worth 142 trillion Durians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 34,888 Durians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, babies are a small but significant export, and immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durian Paradise's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pancasila.

Durian Paradise is ranked 131,181^st in the world and 6,009^th in Balder for Most Patriotic, with 12.18 flags saluted per person per day.
