The Republic of Durlia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Prime Minister with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.303 billion Durlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durlia Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Durlian economy, worth a remarkable 2,828 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,564 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students abandon classrooms for online education, no one born in Durlia can fix a leaky faucet, the people of Durlia are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is totally unknown. Durlia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Durlia is ranked 4,421st in the world and 87th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 178 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
