The State of Durchgang is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.252 billion Durchgangians 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 relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.

The very strong Durchgangian economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,028 betales, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and Durchgang has designated Central Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Durchgang's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Durchgang is ranked 254,677^th in the world and 7^th in Mauritius for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.74 kickbacks per hour.
