The Federation of Damian is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Damian with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.956 billion Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Damtropilis. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Damian economy, worth a remarkable 5,457 trillion Aureuses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 321,863 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't spell society without CIS, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Damian politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damian's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Paganism.

Damian is ranked 23,533rd in the world and 1st in The International Board of Nations for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 7,302 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
