The Principality of The Realm of Dorne is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Princess Arianne Martell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.156 billion Dornish hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunspear. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dornish economy, worth a remarkable 1,017 trillion dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 165,337 dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military's newest anti-tank strategy is throwing a landmine like a frisbee, carefully-staged grief is displayed by Princess Arianne Martell after national disasters, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Princess Arianne Martell to meetings with foreign heads of state, and graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading. Crime is totally unknown. The Realm of Dorne's national animal is the Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Realm of Dorne is ranked 148,985^th in the world and 2,196^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 509.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
