The WELCOME HOME of Duxburian Union is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Aelir Avoldran Dehn am Nevian with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 30.439 billion Duxburians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dairghazbury. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Duxburian economy, worth an astonishing 10,669 trillion Kaels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 350,520 Kaels, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

There's more vermin than ever on the metro, fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, Scout campfire sing-a-longs tend to focus on the evils of antitrust legislation, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Duxburian Union's national animal is the Valkyrie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dalaenism.

Duxburian Union is ranked 52,975^th in the world and 40^th in European Union for Highest Drug Use, scoring 80.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
