The Republik of Dorles is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by David Milos with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 11.394 billion Dorlesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mehowice. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dorlesian economy, worth 920 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,821 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dorles's national animal is the Blue Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is LECHICYZM.

Dorles is ranked 150,881^st in the world and 2,319^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,490.69 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
