“What could go wrong?”

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

The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 106 million Dotopolisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dotopolisian economy, worth 8.48 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,032 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

It's often raining men (hallelujah) in Dotopolis City, bris parties are all the rage, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotopolis is ranked 213,262^nd in the world and 4,914^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
