The Incorporated States of Darrithia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.493 billion Darrithians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The enormous, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Darrithian economy, worth 187 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,410 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.
The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darrithia's national animal is the butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Darrithia is ranked 326,402nd in the world and 1,167th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
