The Principality of Dobrostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Prscyse with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.757 billion Dobrostanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colosia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dobrostanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,129 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 227,502 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,553,054 per year while the poor average 12,073, a ratio of 128 to 1.

Curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments". Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dobrostan's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dobrostan is ranked 292,120th in the world and 10,978th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 10.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
