The Republic of Diamond mine is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 205 million Diamond mineans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Diamond minean economy, worth 15.3 trillion diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,583 diamonds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 380,886 per year while the poor average 8,039, a ratio of 47.4 to 1.

Music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs, there is something rotten in the state of Diamond mine, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, and the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Diamond minean radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Diamond mine's national animal is the diamond, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Diamond mine is ranked 250,648th in the world and 22nd in Fields for Safest, scoring 22.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
