The Purchasing Agent of Dunlevia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Head Friend Martin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.061 billion Dunlevians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hangoutopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.9%.

The thriving Dunlevian economy, worth 322 trillion dunlevian pfennings a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,322 dunlevian pfennings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,056 per year while the poor average 12,277, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.

Stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the nation's smallest huskieball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dunlevia's national animal is the huskie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Dunlevia is ranked 81,857^th in the world and 8^th in Infrastructure for Most Developed, scoring 66.56 on the Human Development Index.
