The Cosmicist Republic of The Dunwich Domes is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Head Cultist Misha Tonic with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.538 billion Dunwich Domed are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunwich Dome Command Centre. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Dunwicher economy, worth a remarkable 3,357 trillion Horror's Dollars 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 247,983 Horror's Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal dimunitive intelligence officers, large areas of The Dunwich Domes are not accessible by the public, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, and tax rises are attributed to divine will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Dunwich Domes's national animal is the Mutated Dunwich Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Church Guarding Against.
The Dunwich Domes is ranked 60th in the world and 2nd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Primitive, scoring 693.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
