The Empire of Doba is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 45 million Dobans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.
The strong Doban economy, worth 2.39 trillion Dobanis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,019 Dobanis, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 288,371 per year while the poor average 5,011, a ratio of 57.5 to 1.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Doba's national animal is the Swan.
Doba is ranked 338,418th in the world and 3,452nd in the Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 5.2 Effective Tax Rate.
