The United Kingdom of Damunia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Damunians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The Damunian economy, worth 566 billion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,458 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damunia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Damunia is ranked 207,101^st in the world and 2,417^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 30.72 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
