The Hegemony of Dontaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.069 billion Dontarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prage. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Dontarian economy, worth an astonishing 13,520 trillion labour tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 841,418 labour tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, and religious citizens are closely monitored for signs of self-harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dontaria's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Dontaria is ranked 243rd in the world and 1st in Right to Life for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 18,420.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
