The Principality of Duragorod is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Malislav IV with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.446 billion Burlasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duragorod. The average income tax rate is 44.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Duragorodian economy, worth 695 trillion Levs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,436 Levs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Malislav IV's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and the media seems excessively interested in what Malislav IV is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Duragorod's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is East Hustian Church.

Duragorod is ranked 276,182^nd in the world and 335^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Primitive, scoring -294.63 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
