The Republic of Darmen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Sebastian Elliott with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.344 billion Darmenis are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scott City. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Darmeni economy, worth a remarkable 5,113 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 187,016 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and female ship captains never volunteer for polar routes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darmen's national animal is the German Shepherd, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Darmen is ranked 146,155th in the world and 34th in Rushmore for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 68.62 Workforce Participation Rate.
