The Golden Notebook of Doris Lessing is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lilith with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 22.857 billion Doris Lessingians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Doris Lessingian economy, worth a remarkable 4,873 trillion Written Words a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 213,203 Written Words, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, what goes down must come up, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Doris Lessing's national animal is the Nobel Prize in Literature, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Doris Lessing is ranked 285,363^rd in the world and 712^th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
