The Society of Diuturnitas is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by R with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.024 billion Diuturnitarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Diuturna. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Diuturnitary economy, worth 344 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,181 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, R is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diuturnitas's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Diuturnitas is ranked 89,409^th in the world and 1,074^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 64.24 on the Human Development Index.
