The Kingdom of Duron is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 243 million Duronese are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Duronian economy, worth 9.13 trillion Dus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,577 Dus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duron's national animal is the Duram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duron is ranked 130,949^th in the world and 49^th in Hive for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
