The Quagmire of Diasporic Peoples is a colossal, socially progressive 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 6.711 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 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and all footpaths have tollbooths. 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 17th in Anarchy and 7,621st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 45 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
