The Principality of Dorne is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Mors Nymeros Martell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.954 billion Dornishmen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunspear. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The strong Dornish economy, worth 531 trillion golden dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 59,276 golden dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, skateparks can be found in every city, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and the airforce has intensified its bombings of hospitals and schools in Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Dorne's national animal is the viper, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Dorne is ranked 35,972^nd in the world and 2^nd in Dorne for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.99 percentage of bribes refused.
