The HUNGRY VINNY of DUXBURIAN UNION is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Aelir Avoldran Dehn am Nevian with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 41.658 billion Duxburians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dairghazbury. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Duxburian economy, worth an astonishing 15,441 trillion Kaels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 370,662 Kaels, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,974,306 per year while the poor average 36,635, a ratio of 53.9 to 1.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Duxburian beaches, and the entire entry for DUXBURIAN UNION in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. DUXBURIAN UNION's national animal is the Valkyrie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dalaenism.

DUXBURIAN UNION is ranked 1,740th in the world and 4th in European Union for Smartest Citizens, with 202.72 quips per hour.
