The Republic of Damaskia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Loidberg with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2 billion Damaskians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Damaskian economy, worth 338 trillion Kerolines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 169,349 Kerolines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and conflicted Damaskian mamas cry 'cause - if there's one thing they don't need - it's another hungry mouth to feed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damaskia's national animal is the sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Whitecreamism.

Damaskia is ranked 208,068^th in the world and 123^rd in The League for Largest Populations, with 2.00 billion capita.
