The Quagmire of Diasporic Peoples is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kyle McCaslin with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.1 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesia. The average income tax rate is 2%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Diasporic Peoples's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Diasporic Peoples's national animal is the Welsh Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Greenback.

Diasporic Peoples is ranked 91st in Anarchy and 93,474th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -186 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
