Damerdjog

I don't really know anyone on the forums, and all my fellow kingdoms have either wandered out to pasture for too long or just plain faded away.
The pasture is calling me as well, and the crumbling anarchy that was once a thriving nation is finally watching the sun set on its tired lands. The word "damerd" is Somali for donkey. The work "jog" is Somali for "place" or "stop". It's the Donkey Stop where all the donkeys loaded with goods stop and circle the campfires, and the Bedouins gather to tell tales into the night before trekking onward to Puntland.
I believe that there can be a rebirth of our nation if the right person could nurse her people back to health.
Someone please let me know.
The Crumbling Anarchy of Damerdjog
"Damêrdjôg is the corkscrew of the badger world!"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Imploded
Political Freedoms: Average
Location: A New World Order
Damerdjog is a UN Member
The Crumbling Anarchy of Damerdjog is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 3.786 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, the nation is completely gun-free, the government is reigning in public spending, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Damerdjog's national animal is the Credulous Dungbeetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Barumbado.
Damerdjog is ranked 14th in the region and 108,520th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry.
