The Republic of Duma is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Oliver Zat with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.495 billion Dumen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xiamen. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Duman economy, worth 148 trillion Renminbis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 99,646 Renminbis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, every week is blindness awareness week, Oliver Zat is famed for giving great back rubs, and the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duma's national animal is the Giant Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duma is ranked 34,852^nd in the world and 32^nd in Geopolity for Most Beautiful Environments, with 763.58 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
