The Durbs

The Dominion of The Durbs is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 105 million Durbsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The Durbsian economy, worth 5.80 trillion Dubs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,275 Dubs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, pension obligations are building, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is relatively low. The Durbs's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Durbs is ranked 64,584th in the world and 1st in Supa Squad for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,145.26 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
