The Confederacy of The Dodo Republic is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Robert Ross with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.848 billion Dodoians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Valkyrie. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dodoian economy, worth a remarkable 1,626 trillion Raptor pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,582 Raptor pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Extreme hiring regulations mean a job in The Dodo Republic is often a lifetime appointment, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dodo Republic's national animal is the Dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dodoian Catholicism.

The Dodo Republic is ranked 176,003^rd in the world and 12^th in Union of Kenora for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 73.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
