Duilio

The People's Republic of Duilio, informally known as Duilio, is a nation on the southern border of Socorro.

History
Duilio was one of the sub-regions of Socorro, a District within New Udonia. An independence movement fueled by ethnic and economic differences between the Duilio and their fellow Socorrans led to a referendum and successful declaration of independence in 2069.

Geography
The geographic environment of Duilio is covered in tropical rainforests. Duilio has one large urban center of Gioconda, which also doubles as its capital. Duilio is bordered to the north by Socorro and to the south by Katashi.

Demographics
Duilio's national language is English, although traditionally Duilio's people were fluent in Italian. Duilio's people are referenced to as Duilio. The national religion is Unitarian Universalism, with all other legal religions considered social subsidies of the national religion.

Government
The government of Duilio is a socialist demarchy. As such, political leaders are selected by random, effectively turning the government into a people's republic. All demarchic leadership positions are indefinite, with leaders expected to resign when the time is appropriate, or when forced to by a vote of no confidence. The current Premier is Maxima F. Segreti.

Economy
The economy of Duilio thrives off of tourism, as its extensive rainforests are highly protected from development. Virtually all international business is conducted within the sanctioned city of Gioconda, although there can be sparse, although usually unsanctioned, settlements across Duilio's terrain. Gioconda is also famous for its extensive entertainment industry, which has successfully dominated the global industry.
