The Army of Duqm is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 31.061 billion Duqmians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duqm. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The all-consuming Duqmian economy, worth a remarkable 4,252 trillion rials a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,897 rials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, the lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, and wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duqm's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duqm is ranked 219,929th in the world and 8,422nd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
