The Black Lucky Holy Christmas of Durmengrad Prime is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Santa St Patrick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.947 billion denizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad. The average income tax rate is 81.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Durmengradian economy, worth a remarkable 3,089 trillion gold bar candy canes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,641 gold bar candy canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, nations across the world are quick to praise Santa St Patrick's good looks and intellectual prowess, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durmengrad Prime's national animal is the zombie reindeer pony leprechaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Durmengrad Prime is ranked 3,632nd in the world and 79th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 70,308.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
