The Army of Duqm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 31.067 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 11,158th in the world and 675th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,484.94 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
