The Black Lucky Holy Christmas of Durmengrad Prime is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santa St Patrick with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.541 billion denizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Durmengradian economy, worth 943 trillion gold bar candy canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,171 gold bar candy canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, foreign leaders who don't applaud Santa St Patrick's speeches are regarded as enemies of Durmengrad Prime, when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, and patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Durmengrad Prime" at foreigners. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Durmengrad Prime is ranked 260,099th in the world and 10,131st in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
