The Grand Duchy of Dhemixia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 4.381 billion Dhemixians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbus. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dhemixian economy, worth 566 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,403 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, Dhemixians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhemixia's national animal is the Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dhemixia is ranked 35,110^th in the world and 705^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 129,403.95 Standard Monetary Units.
