The Black Lucky Holy Christmas of Durmengrad Prime is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Santa St Patrick with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.692 billion denizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Durmengradian economy, worth 979 trillion gold bar candy canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,364 gold bar candy canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government would rather execute a hundred innocent men than let one guilty one appeal a verdict, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, excessive gerrymandering has earned Durmengrad Prime the nickname 'The Democratic Dictatorship', and Durmengradian Gladiators is a ratings success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Durmengrad Prime's national animal is the zombie reindeer pony leprechaun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Durmengrad Prime is ranked 74,642nd in the world and 4,066th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
