“Doranicans of the world, unite!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Doranica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Great Comrade with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 11.645 billion Doranicans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mittelweg. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doranican economy, worth a remarkable 1,827 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 156,931 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doranica's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Doranica is ranked 252,609^th in the world and 10,232^nd in Lazarus for Nudest, with 67.5 cheeks per square mile.
