The Nationalist Republic of Donestk is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Nikifor Morozov with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 13.628 billion Donestkians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donestk. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Donestkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,320 trillion Hryvnias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,915 Hryvnias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Donestkian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, the entire entry for Donestk in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donestk's national animal is the Nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Donestk is ranked 51,067^th in the world and 9^th in Warzone Asia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 179.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
