The Unitary Republic of Doulant is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Aurelius Marcellus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.715 billion Doulantese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esemihburg. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Doulantese economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion Daphnes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 189,602 Daphnes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Doulant, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doulant's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
