The People's Republic of Duryanistan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 523 million Duryanis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dashgar. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Duryani economy, worth 49.3 trillion dirhams a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,288 dirhams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Contestants on Duryanistan's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", and biology and religious education classes have recently been merged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duryanistan's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Duryanistan is ranked 61,911^th in the world and 2,207^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 24.94 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
