The High Republic of Durtoss is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Harmon710 with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.164 billion Durtossians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Prime. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Durtossian economy, worth 252 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 79,823 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has been criticized for giving away Durtoss's territory to anyone who claims it, new regulations have put a halt to monkey business, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and the news is showing footage of Harmon710 bullying an old man to the point of tears. Crime is totally unknown. Durtoss's national animal is the Durtossian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Durtoss is ranked 258,893^rd in the world and 2,634^th in the West Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 36.64 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
