The Republic of Duretta is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Naomi Keating with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.856 billion Durettans 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 prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Si-an. The average income tax rate is 40.9%.

The very strong Durettan economy, worth 486 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,934 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Durettan weed picker are way up, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duretta's national animal is the blue bird-of-paradise, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Duretta is ranked 129,045th in the world and 10th in Kavonia for Most Stationary, with 256.90506474732 days.
