The Holy Empire of Durmius is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.974 billion Durmiusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Durmiusian economy, worth 386 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,429 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, and urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durmius's national animal is the hawk.

Durmius is ranked 256,180^th in the world and 7^th in Rome for Most Developed, scoring 52.07 on the Human Development Index.
