The Republic of Darmen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Tor Tong Lee with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 19.386 billion Darmenis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scott City. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Darmeni economy, worth a remarkable 3,983 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 205,502 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Brain injury is seen as a desirable outcome rather than a side effect of contact sports, graffiti graces every city's streets, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime 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 462^nd in the world and 1^st in Rushmore for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 1,157.29 Bank.
