The Empire of Duista is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Joseph Kronel with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.226 billion Duistans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krashawn. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duistan economy, worth a remarkable 3,962 trillion Kronels a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,923 Kronels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duista's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Duista is ranked 7,387^th in the world and 9^th in The Wellspring for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,896.78 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
