The People's Republic of Durbur is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.013 billion Durburians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Durburus Capitol. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Durburian economy, worth 999 trillion Durandas 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,910 Durandas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on The Supreme Emperor's desk, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durbur's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Supreme Emperor.

Durbur is ranked 39,663rd in the world and 543rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,141.0069780884 days.
