The Commonwealth of Damoders is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 147 million Damodersians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The very strong Damodersian economy, worth 9.16 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,312 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, village elders are often called in to interpret voting outcomes in Parliament, and Damodersians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Damoders's national animal is the lion.

Damoders is ranked 95,682^nd in the world and 1^st in The Legion Republic for Most Patriotic, with 15.53 flags saluted per person per day.
