The Second Socialist Republic of Doundaly is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kenton Rowe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, triple-decker prams, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.164 billion Doundalians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pratka. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Doundalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,348 trillion galds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,170 galds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doundaly's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Doundaly is ranked 43,873^rd in the world and 956^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,846.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
