The United Interplanetary States of Damukuni is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Susu Fumue with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 26.306 billion Damukunians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atarashii-Damushuto. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Damukunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,602 trillion damuokanes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,918 damuokanes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damukuni's national animal is the Damukunian falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is not established.

Damukuni is ranked 124,984^th in the world and 41^st in Esportiva for Highest Average Incomes, with 60,918.21 Standard Monetary Units.
