The Holy Empire of Doge 50 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Doge L with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.061 billion Doge 50ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bayou Junction. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Doge 50ian economy, worth 427 trillion anch coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 105,345 anch coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,478 per year while the poor average 13,219, a ratio of 37.6 to 1.

The populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, world leaders often feel uncomfortable when Empress Doge L tries to recruit them into selling cosmetics, Dàguó lanterns outnumber streetlights in major cities, and the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in DogeLand. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Doge 50's national animal is the doge, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Doge 50 is ranked 33,552^nd in the world and 29^th in DogeLand for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
