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 barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 32.138 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, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, 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 11,287 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 351,215 Kaels, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

First-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, the might of the entire Duxburian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, there's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", and there's no weight to modern politics. 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 179,404^th in the world and 99^th in European Union for Most Authoritarian, with 332.8 milliStalins.
