The Calamity of Dotrion is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 514 million Dotrionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The thriving Dotrionian economy, worth 36.2 trillion tropes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 70,352 tropes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,123 per year while the poor average 16,800, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", Lady Justice has swapped her blindfold for steel-capped boots, and investigative reports into the government's latest violation of civilian rights are stored in the fiction aisle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotrion's national animal is the Spinoaurus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dotrion is ranked 121,377^th in the world and 5,637^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 633.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
