The Old Queendom of Durakem is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Anai with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 17.946 billion Durakemites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sentinel. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Durakemite economy, worth a remarkable 2,716 trillion Cookies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,375 Cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and the fattest folk in Durakem look to be the happiest ones. Crime is totally unknown. Durakem's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Stargazing.

Durakem is ranked 27,930^th in the world and 1,883^rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
