The Republic of Darmen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Tor Tong Lee with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.957 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 Defense, Law & Order, 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 3,656 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 203,651 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 844,482 per year while the poor average 32,197, a ratio of 26.2 to 1.

There is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Darmeni military, voting is compulsory, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. 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 4,003^rd in the world and 4^th in Rushmore for Longest Average Lifespans, with 92.71 Years.
