The Dáxlamic Territorial Abbacy of Duxbury is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.454 billion Duxberians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pulpit Rock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The all-consuming Duxburyian economy, worth 784 trillion Dáxlamic marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,030 Dáxlamic marks, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lýderis Bradford John is worshipped as a god, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duxbury's national animal is the Posh Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Duxbury is ranked 208,249th in the world and 176th in Declansburg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
