The Democratic States of Duruganistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duru von Llama with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.107 billion Duruganistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durugan-Llama. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Duruganistanian economy, worth 80.2 trillion Dururuas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,442 Dururuas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duruganistan's national animal is the Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duruganistan is ranked 287,349^th in the world and 172^nd in Philosophers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
