The Republic of Diamond mine is a fledgling, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Diamond mineans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Diamond minean economy, worth 432 billion diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,025 diamonds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,947 per year while the poor average 14,691, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, military spending recently hit a new high, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime is moderate. Diamond mine's national animal is the diamond, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Diamond mine is ranked 59,356th in the world and 36th in Fields for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 254,947 Standard Monetary Units.
