The World of Duke Rimwalker is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.084 billion Duke Rimwalkerians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rim. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The strong Duke Rimwalkerian economy, worth 767 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 50,903 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, the tawdry celebrity gossip section has moved to the front page of most newspapers, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Duke Rimwalker's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duke Rimwalker is ranked 15,291^st in the world and 1^st in The South Pole for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,411.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
