The State of Donovan Plan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.364 billion Donovan Planians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The thriving Donovan Planian economy, worth 520 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 23,251 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 71,029 per year while the poor average 5,899, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, and Donovan Plan has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Donovan Plan's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Donovan Plan is ranked 252,051^st in the world and 5^th in Superior for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
